Parts for Ge PVM9179FR1DS: 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.

This controller assembly replaces a worn or failed control dial assembly to restore reliable cycle selection and user inputs on compatible appliances. It provides the tactile control interface used to select settings and start cycles. What it does:

• Replaces the user control/dial assembly so selections register correctly
• Restores tactile feedback for smooth, accurate knob operation
• Helps resolve symptoms such as unresponsive or intermittent control inputs, stuck or loose dial, or inability to select settings
• Interfaces with the appliance control circuitry to transmit user commands

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Typically installs by removing the console/knob and unplugging the old assembly
• Handle the electronic connector and circuit area carefully to avoid damage from static or force

This main control board is the electronic module that manages oven/range functions and display features so your appliance runs cycles, responds to control inputs, and shows status. It restores control panel responsiveness and timed operations when the board is faulty. What it does:

• Receives inputs from the touchpad/knobs and sends commands to heating elements, relays, and indicators
• Manages the clock, timers, and programmed bake/broil or cook cycles
• Can cause a blank or unresponsive display, failure to start, or erratic operation when defective
• Supports diagnostic and status signaling used by service tools (when applicable)

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting work
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid electrostatic discharge; use an ESD strap if available
• Installation typically requires removing the control panel or console; keep fasteners and wiring order documented

This LED module replaces the interior refrigerator light assembly to restore proper illumination inside the fresh food compartment. It provides a direct swap for failed or dim LED lighting to help you see food clearly. What it does:

• Replaces the refrigerator's interior LED light assembly to restore full, even cabinet illumination
• Commonly used when the light is dim, flickering, or completely out
• Connects to the existing lighting housing and wiring harness for a straightforward replacement
• Designed to match OEM fit and function for compatible refrigerator models

• One LED module

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs to prevent shock
• Remove the light cover or housing per your model's instructions to access the module
• Handle the module and LEDs carefully; avoid touching LEDs or circuitry directly

This electronic oven control assembly manages the range/oven's oven functions, display and user interface so baking and broiling cycles run correctly. Replacing a failed control restores responsive controls and accurate oven operation. What it does:

• Controls oven heating elements, bake/broil cycles and timed functions per user settings
• Manages the control panel display and keypad/responds to user inputs
• Common failure signs: blank or flickering display, unresponsive touchpad/buttons, oven not heating or not following set temperature
• Works with the range's power and sensor inputs to regulate cook cycles

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before servicing
• Handle the control assembly and display area carefully to avoid damaging connectors or the glass/control panel
• Verify the part number on your existing controller matches WB27X45569 before ordering
