Common failure areas on this model

The confirmed parts above group into a handful of failure areas. Here is what each points to and how to check it before you order anything.

Interior lighting

General hardware and mounting parts

Before you buy

Match 72180602500 exactly against the model and serial plate on the appliance itself before ordering anything — a single mismatched character can point to a different production run with different parts. Then check the part number printed or stamped on the part you are replacing against the part numbers in the table above; the printed number is the most reliable way to confirm fitment when a model has gone through multiple production runs. RepairKitHub does not sell parts directly — every part link above routes to an Amazon search for that part number so you can compare current listings and sellers yourself.

How to confirm this is your model

On most microwaves, the model and serial plate sits inside the door frame. Match every character exactly, including letters and dashes at the end — appliance model numbers often have similar prefixes but different suffixes for different production runs.
