Parts for Ge PT960DR2BB: 03 - Center Spacer Parts

This tangential blower moves air across oven/microwave components to cool electronics and vent heat. Replacing a worn blower restores proper airflow to help prevent overheating and reduce fan noise. What it does:

• Circulates air across internal components to maintain safe operating temperatures
• Helps cool control electronics and magnetron assemblies in ovens/microwaves
• Can cause overheating, reduced cooling, or unusual fan noise when failing
• Restores designed airflow when the motor or fan blades are worn or damaged

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Handle sharp sheet metal and internal components with care
• Basic replacement typically requires removing access panels and unplugging the blower connector; transfer any mounting grommets or brackets as needed

This top insulation retainer secures oven/range insulation in place behind the cooktop or control panel so insulation stays put and helps maintain safe, even operation. It's a small but important fastener for proper internal fit. What it does:

• Holds top insulation or thermal blanket securely to the appliance chassis
• Prevents insulation from shifting, sagging, or contacting hot components
• Helps reduce heat transfer and maintains proper airflow around elements
• Commonly replaced when clips are broken, missing, or insulation is loose

• Basic hand tools may be required; inspect surrounding insulation and panels for damage before reassembly
• Replace only with the correct retainer to ensure proper fit and securement
• Disconnect power or gas and allow appliance to cool before accessing internal components

This vent tube assembly directs exhaust and heat away from the appliance cavity to help maintain proper airflow and protect internal components. It replaces a worn or damaged vent tube to restore normal venting performance. What it does

• Channels exhaust from the appliance outlet to the main vent path to prevent heat buildup.
• Keeps heat and combustion gases away from console and internal wiring.
• Helps reduce hot spots and odors that can occur with a damaged or disconnected vent.
• Fits into the appliance's venting system to restore intended airflow routing.

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting work.
• Remove access panels per the appliance service instructions; take care around sharp sheet metal.
• Verify orientation and secure mounting so the tube routes without kinks or pinching.

This black-finished screw secures appliance panels, brackets, or trim in place. Replacing a missing or damaged fastener restores a solid fit and helps prevent rattling, gaps, and loose components.

• Fastens panels, trim, brackets, or covers on the appliance
• Helps maintain proper alignment and reduces vibration noise
• Common replacement when the original is lost, stripped, rusted, or broken
• Symptoms include loose or wobbly parts, rattling, or visible gaps

• Disconnect power; for gas appliances, also shut off the gas supply
• Allow hot surfaces to cool before servicing
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten snugly—do not overtighten
• Reuse any original washers or spacers in the same order and location
