Parts for Ge JVM1190CB002: 01 - Door & Case Parts

This is a magnetron that is used on microwave ovens. The purpose of the magnetron is to provide the microwaves that actually cook the foot inside of the microwave oven. Use caution when replacing this part. High-voltage capacitors in microwaves can retain a deadly amount of electrical charge, even when they are unplugged.If the microwave begins making a buzzing noise and doesn't heat food properly, this part will need to be replaced. Use extreme caution when working with this appliance. Unplug the unit first.This particular magnetron is compatible with microwave ovens that are manufactured by the General Electric, Hotpoint, and Maytag brands. This part is sold individually and is sourced directly from the manufacturer as a genuine OEM part.

This lower control panel trim replaces a damaged, cracked or worn trim piece to restore the finish and fit of the oven/range control area. It gives a clean, finished look and helps protect the control console edge from damage. What it does:

• Replaces worn, cracked or cosmetically damaged lower control panel trim
• Restores proper fit and appearance around the control console
• Helps protect the control console edge from everyday bumps and wear
• Useful when trim is loose, bent, or missing fasteners

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work to avoid shock
• Minor disassembly of the console or door may be required to access mounting points
• Handle trim carefully — edges may be sharp and finish can scratch
• Keep original fasteners; verify mounting clips/screws on reassembly

The Microwave Door Switch is an OEM part for GE microwaves, designed to prevent the microwave from operating when the door is open by interrupting the power whenever the door is not securely closed. The door switch is an essential safety feature.

Symptoms of a failing Microwave Door Switch include:

• The microwave not starting or heating
• Running when the door is opened
• Unusual noises when the door is closed  

Causes of a bad Microwave Door Switch can result from repeated opening and closing of the door or slamming that can cause the switch to degrade or become misaligned, leading to intermittent or failure.

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Monitor Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwave ovens. Located internally on the turntable control circuit board, this switch monitors rotation of the turntable during cooking cycles.  

Causes of failure involve degradation of the electrical contacts from continuous arcing loads over years of use combined with vibration stresses.

Symptoms of a faulty monitor switch include:

• The turntable no longer rotates or spinning intermittently
• Cooking cycles aborting prematurely with error messages 
• Screeching or grinding noises emanating from beneath cavity
• Visible burnt spots on turntable drive assembly

This genuine GE switch is also compatible with select Hotpoint and RCA models.

A replacement magnetron duct that directs microwave energy and helps protect internal components in countertop and over-the-range microwaves. Restores correct waveguide alignment and helps maintain heating performance when the old duct is damaged. What it does:

• Channels microwaves from the magnetron to the oven cavity while shielding surrounding components.
• Protects the magnetron and high-voltage area from debris and arcing.
• Commonly replaced when cracked, warped, or showing burn marks that can affect heating.
• Helps reduce unusual noises or sparking coming from the microwave cavity area.

• Disconnect power and discharge high-voltage capacitors before accessing the magnetron.
• Wear gloves and eye protection; sharp sheet-metal edges may be present.
• Secure mounting screws to prevent gaps that can cause arcing.
• Do not operate the microwave with covers or ducts missing or improperly installed.

This microwave thermostat is a temperature-sensitive safety switch that helps protect the unit from overheating. When the preset limit is reached, it interrupts power to the affected circuit to help prevent damage and erratic shutdowns.

• Monitors temperature at its mounting location and opens the circuit if overheating is detected
• Helps protect internal components from excessive heat
• Common symptoms of a failed thermostat include: unit shuts off during cooking, won't start until it cools down, or has no power/no heat due to an open safety
• Replace if the original tests open when it should be closed

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge; only qualified persons should service and discharge the capacitor
• Note wire locations before removal and transfer connections firmly to the new thermostat
• Mount the thermostat securely and in the same position to ensure proper temperature sensing
