W11087199 Whirlpool Microwave Waveguide Inlet Cover

Microwave Waveguide Inlet Cover Description.

The Waveguide Cover is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for use in various Whirlpool microwaves, including brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances. This cover acts as a metallic barrier inside the microwave, safeguarding the waveguide tube that channels microwave energy into the oven's interior. The cover measures about 6 x 3.5 inches and helps prevent microwave leakage during use.

Indications of a malfunctioning waveguide cover include:

- Sparks or arcing observed within the microwave.
- Burn marks on the microwave’s interior walls.
- Damage such as cracks or holes in the cover.

Installing a new OEM waveguide cover can ensure the microwave operates safely and meets certified standards. This part is suitable for various residential Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Maytag microwave models, both built-in and over-the-range.
