Common replacement parts for Gaggenau built-in microwaves

• High-limit thermostat. The high-limit thermostat detects a short circuit or fire inside the microwave cabinet and shuts down the microwave to prevent injury. This component should be replaced a by a service technician because opening the microwave cabinet to replace the high-limit thermostat exposes you to a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a lethal electrical charge even when the microwave power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet.
• Cavity light bulb. The cavity light bulb illuminates the inside cavity of the microwave when you open the microwave door and when the microwave is cooking.
• Cooking tray. The cooking tray holds foods being cooked inside the microwave cavity and rotates to cook foods evenly.
• Turntable motor. The turntable motor rotates the cooking tray so foods cook evenly inside the microwave.

• Do not operate the microwave with the door open. Interlock switches should prevent the microwave from starting with the door open.
