Manufacturer substitution
This part replaces DE96-01070A. Substitute parts can look different from the original.
Replacing this part brought the microwave back to life. The original thermostat was poorly constructed (loose lead that caused the microwave to run sporadically). Hopefully, this last longer. The only reason that it took me so long to replace is that I originally was planning on discarding the unit so as I took it apart, I didn't pay attention to where parts went. When I found obvious defect, it took a while to figure out how to reassemble.

It was easy to install. It took less than 15 minutes to install and get the appliance running like new.
