Where to get microwave plate rollers with tiny wheels (Panasonic…) cheaply?

08-17-2018, 03:35 AM

I've got several microwave's of different brands (incl. no-name ones) which are working just fine, have been cleaned and I have the right plates for them (or know which to get) but I cannot find the rollers. These are the ones which use very low rollers with tiny wheels (the ordinary ones are too tall and the glass plate does not have contact with that plastic rotary thing using them).

I wonder where to get these? I found that for example Panasonic uses such, but the originals cost arm and leg, pretty much between half to full price of a new oven. This is insane.

ADD// I've checked ali as well and unlike on fleebay, there seem to be some smaller (6.9"/17.5cm) cheap (a buck and some cents a piece) rollers with small wheels, I've asked one of the sellers for the wheel diameter so we'll see if I get any usable informatin; but for the price maybe it's worth just buying it and trying

Re: Where to get microwave plate rollers with tiny wheels (Panasonic…) cheaply?

step1: find the exact model that uses the rollers you need.
step2: find a sevice manual so you have the factory part number for them.
step3: start checking white-goods spares suppliers for replacements.

Ive had luck with going to the metal yards and salvaging them from dead appliances.

Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

Excuse me while i do something dangerous

You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

Found only with large wheels or very expensive at fleebay, ali seems to be slightly better but there is little info about wheel size.

stj: good luck with all those decade old no-names, best I got is maybe Daewoo

Panasonic nn-h664
Wheel height (diameter) = 15mm
Wheel width = 8 mm

You still need to find the ring to attach the wheels to.

Guess this could work. I'll buy a few of those at 1.1 USD, could not get cheaper than that. They'll fit where they'll fit…

Toshiba EM131A5C-BS microwave oven- noisy EE16 2.7 mH inductor

by valvashon

This poor microwave oven was purchased by my former employer in 2019 (it's a 7/2018 build) and lasted for about 3 months before making a terrible noise when in use. I determined that it was the main transformer and contacted Toshiba. They asked for a picture of the cord cut in half and the serial number, and then credited my boss' credit card. Rather than sending it to the e-waste, I bought a transformer on eBay and thought I'd try flipping it. Discovered that used microwave ovens aren't worth much but in for a penny, in for a pound as they say. It sat in my basement getting kicked and shoved...

Monitor Interlook switch on a microwave

by papillon

I *was* trying to determine the cause of a failure in a microwave oven.
The unit is a Frigidaire Gallery model CGMV175QFA.
For future reference, the exploded view for this specific model is available here.
The last page of that document also has the electrical diagram which I am attaching to this message as well.

The unit had a blown fuse when I opened it. I tested each component individually (magnetron, relays, tracsformers, etc) and all appeared to be working fine (no shorts) but the fuse kept blowing.
Eventually, I looked at the electrical diagram...

Busted/cracked Light diffuser plate Samsung UN55NU7100

by lfhlaw

I was attempting to replace the LED lights on an Edge-lit Samsung UN55NU7100...While removing the sheets and the light diffuser plate which already had cracks at the bottom. The plate bent(more than I'd like) and broken in half.

1) Is it still usable if I can put in back into place

2) or Do I have to find a replacement diffuser plate and can it be any diffuser plate from a 55" Samsung LED TV or specific to my model?

3) can a new plate be purchased from Samsung?

Microwave HV transformer

by davph

Hi

Can anyone tell me the difference between MD-801FMR-1 / MD-801FTR-1 and MD-801EMR-1 microwave HV transformers?

All I can see is they are all 800W but wondered if they are inter changeable...

microwave rotary switch contacts go bad requently

by jm1234

Hi, I have a 11 year old microwave Siemens and the main function selector switch is a rotary type. It goes bad every few months, there are carbon (?) pads and the metal contacts that drive on them create concentric circle tracks from the residue.

I clean the tracks and the metal contacts with IPA and it works few months again. Here you can see the contacts:

Once I tried this contact cleaner: Kontakt 60 https://www.tme.eu/Document/3f58feb2...TAKT60.DTE.PDF, but it only lasted few weeks, so probably not a good choice.
Is there any...
