The Control Board is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This board is responsible for controlling the various heating elements, fans and sensors within the microwave to make sure you have proper and safe operation. It allows the microwave to function, including setting time/power levels and relaying information from the temperature and humidity sensors.

Causes of a bad control board can include failure due to prolonged exposure to steam and moisture inside the microwave, defects from manufacture, or damage due to impact or mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad control board include:

• Microwave not heating or working properly
• Unable to set correct time/power level
• Error codes or strange beeping during use
• Fans or other internal components not functioning

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