Parts for Sanyo Microwave Ovens

As the Sanyo microwave oven is a complicated small kitchen appliance that can break or become damaged, you may find you need to order parts for Sanyo microwave ovens to repair the appliance. Like most microwave ovens, the Sanyo microwave has several small parts that are prone to wearing down or breaking with continual use.

Common Parts for Sanyo Microwave Ovens

Glass Turntable

The glass turntable is used to rotate food inside the microwave oven. The rotation ensures that food is cooked evenly. The glass turntable is dishwasher safe, but may break if mishandled.

Roller Support

The roller support is a plastic ring located under the glass turntable. It holds three plastic rollers that allow the glass turntable to spin inside the microwave. The plastic rollers can become stuck or break entirely with continual use.

Light bulb

Sanyo microwaves have a small light bulb inside the device that turns on automatically when the door is opened. Over time, this light bulb can burn out and will need replaced. Sanyo sells two sizes of light bulbs, a 15-watt 120-volt light bulb, and a 30-watt 120-volt light bulb. The type of light bulb you will need depends on your model of Sanyo microwave oven.

Foot Pads

Every Sanyo microwave oven uses four rubber foot pads to support the small kitchen appliance and protect countertop surfaces from scratching. If the microwave is moved frequently, the foot pads can become loose or be lost and will need replaced.

Door Assembly

The door assembly is comprised of the main door and a locking mechanism to keep the door in place while the microwave is in use. If the door is mistreated or opened improperly it can break, causing the locking mechanism to stop operating properly. When this happens, the door assembly will need to be replaced.

Touch Pad

Sanyo Microwaves use a touch pad to input the temperature and time necessary to cook or heat food. If the touch pad is exposed to liquids or mistreated, it can cause the device to malfunction. The touch pad will then need to be replaced.

Lamps

Microwave ovens use heating lamps to cook food inside the microwave. These lamps are designed to last through several uses, but they may wear out in time. Once a heating lamp starts to dull, food will not cook properly in the microwave and the heating lamp will need to be replaced.

Door Opener Button

The Sanyo microwave uses a push button to operate the door assembly. The push button may become lodged inside the device, causing it to break if it is pushed with force. If the door opener button breaks it will need replaced.

Ordering Sanyo Microwave Oven Parts
