Parts for Ge CSA1201RSS02: 02 - Control Parts

The Encoder Board is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves, engineered to provide control over the microwave's functions. This component translates user input into digital signals for the microwave's main control board. It allows users to adjust power levels, cooking times, and settings accurately. 

The causes for issues with the Encoder Board can be attributed to electrical faults, such as short circuits or component failures, often resulting from power surges or normal wear and tear. 

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Encoder Board include:

• Difficulty in adjusting settings, which may manifest as unresponsive or erratic control panel behavior.
• The microwave starting or stopping unexpectedly, indicating a miscommunication between the user interface and the microwave's control system.
• Inconsistent cooking results, stemming from the inability to accurately set cooking parameters.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Relay board is an OEM component specifically designed for GE microwaves. This board features electronic relays that control important functions such as power levels, timing, and safety features. 

Symptoms of a bad relay board include:

• Microwave not heating or heating unevenly 
• Buttons or controls not working properly
• Timer not counting down accurately
• Safety features such as door interlock failing
• Buzzing, clicking, or popping noises coming from inside

Causes of a bad relay board include component failure over time due to heat cycling, electrical surges or spikes, or physical damage from accidental drops or impacts. 

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA and some Kenmore models. 

This replacement control knob restores smooth, positive control of the appliance's rotary selector so you can accurately choose cycles and settings. Designed as a direct-fit OEM-style dial for easy snap-on replacement. What it does:

• Replaces a worn, cracked or missing rotary selector knob so settings can be selected reliably.
• Provides a secure fit on the splined control shaft to prevent slipping or wobbling during use.
• Restores tactile feedback for accurate selection of cycles and temperature/speed settings.
• Common symptom fixes: knob is loose, hard to turn, broken, or completely missing.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Most installs are tool-free: pull the old knob straight off the control shaft and push the new knob onto the splines until it seats.
• Align the knob spline with the control shaft; do not force if resistance is unusually high.
• If control shaft or internal parts are damaged, replace the damaged components before installing the knob.

Electronic main control board that manages core refrigerator functions and the user interface. Installing this replacement restores control of compressor, fans and diagnostics when a failed board causes power, cooling, or display issues. What it does:

• Regulates compressor and fan operation — symptoms: refrigerator not cooling, runs continuously, or cycles erratically.
• Manages user controls and display signals — symptoms: unresponsive buttons, blank or erratic display, or control panel errors.
• Controls defrost timing and related outputs — symptoms: frost buildup, excessive ice, or inconsistent temperatures.
• Communicates with sensors and other modules to coordinate normal operation — symptoms: intermittent operation or fault codes.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage.
• Handle the board by the edges and avoid static discharge; use a grounded wrist strap if available.
• The part number on the original board matches WB27X35345 before installing.
