Microwave Oven Accessories
How to choose microwave oven accessories
Sub-type
Kitchen Appliance Accessories cover repairs, Home & Garden holds sensor lights, Kitchen & Dining includes turntable plates.
Size
your oven's Y-type support dictates plate diameter, with 245mm, 255mm and 360mm common in the range.
Material
glass resists stain but breaks, plastic and metal stay light, while paper or paper/silicone liners trade durability for convenience.
Colour
pick white, black, silver, grey, dark/grey, blue, brown, green/blue/purple, grey/silver or natural to match surroundings.
Brand fit
choose universal or spares tied to AEG, Electrolux, Zanussi, Samsung, Bosch, LG, Whirlpool and others listed.
What's good
- Universal glass turntable plates (Kitchen Appliance Accessories) fit several oven sizes, so one spare covers many models.
- Recessed mounting frames made of plastic with silver painted aluminium let you set a microwave into kitchen units for a tidy finish.
- Brand-specific door assemblies and high-voltage fuses restore a failed oven using the correct part for the make.
- Microwave sensor bulkhead lights (Home & Garden) turn on with movement, adding hands-free light to outbuildings.
Things to watch
- Universal plates come in set diameters like 245mm or 360mm, and a wrong size will not sit on the support.
- Recessed frames need a 600x400mm module space, so they fail in non-standard cavities.
- Spares matched to AEG, Electrolux, Zanussi or Samsung only fit those brands, making wrong choice a dead end.
- Sensor lights in white polycarbonate serve lighting, not cooking, so they won't mend an oven fault.
Care & maintenance
Turntable care
Wash glass turntable plates in warm soapy water, then dry before placing back to stop slips.
Sensor light
Wipe the polycarbonate lens of sensor lights now and then to keep the motion detector clear.
Frame check
Check plastic frames for heat marks, and clean with a damp cloth only.
Fuse fitting
When fitting a fuse, match the rating (for example 5kV/0.80A) to the original to avoid damage.
