Microwave part identification

11fernsroad

Last two days our microwave (AEG MC1751E) is making intermittent humming/vibrating sound while using.

On removing waveguide cover we found a small metal piece which had come loose/broken.

Could somebody help us identifying the part broken?

Many Thanks

Bin it.

It looks old and rusty and the broken piece burnt and melted. Either buy a new one or it's  possible to pick up a decent second hand microwave for around £10.

How old is that microwave?

Given you can pick up a new microwave for 40 quid and a combi for 90 quid they are not worth repairing plus the repair of microwaves is out of the scope of most diyers  due to the dangerous components inside

When I was in that business we never repaired microwaves, just throw it away and get a new one.

It is just that above built in microwave we have fits into 50cm cabinet space, and we are finding it difficult to see one of that size.AEG same model is almost £400!

Built in microwaves are an absolute rip off. Just buy a freestanding one that fits the cabinet space. Check the manual online for minimum clearance for ventilation.
