Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Microwave shuts off mid-cycle and won’t restart until cooled
• Unit runs for a few seconds then cuts out with no error code
• Microwave trips repeatedly even at low power settings
• No heat output despite the turntable and light functioning normally

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the door interlock switches are functioning correctly — a failed switch can mimic thermostat failure
• Check the magnetron and high-voltage components for signs of failure or burn marks
• Verify the microwave ventilation path is clear — blocked vents cause genuine overheating that trips a good thermostat
• Test the thermostat for continuity — an open circuit at room temperature confirms failure
