Ge WB27X10856 Digitron OEM Part

My Advantium worked fine except the clock and cooking instructions were dim and bounced in a circular pattern over the left side of the display. I tried unplugging it and once or twice that seemed to help. When I finally decided to take the control panel off I had a difficult time until I saw an old remark from a 2009 forum discussion from a guy that said there were about a dozen screws to remove to get to the control panel. That meant the entire cover had to come off! Wow! Glad I didn't break it trying to unlatch it. Then started emailing an appliancepartspro technician who sent me the technical service guide. What a great help! He thought maybe the problem was the low voltage transformer, which is the first thing to check in the troubleshooting diagram. I was able to take it out and very carefully check continuity and voltages on the primary and secondary sides. YouTube also helped me with this. It was good and I didn't waste $63 on a part I didn't need. So, I ordered the digitron display board. It was delivered in 2 days and took less than a minute to put in, since I had the microwave all tore apart. Voila! It worked! So for just under $200 I was able to fix my 11 year old Advantium oven. Oh so very happy! Would like to thank Jerry and Cindy and all the folks at appliancepartspro who answered my emails and phone calls. These "guys" really care and their customer service is fantastic!

Part had to be one of 3, chatted online with AppliancePartPros.com and they determined it was the Digitron ($180 part). Ordered it immediately, came quickly, called APP for installation instructions, they forwarded PDF Schematic which helped show HOW to remove the cover correctly, etc to access the part. It was a "plug and play" part, took maybe 20 minutes tops and it works beautifully. My idea of success is that it works and there are no leftover screws! Appliance repair guy wanted $400..BTW, this is a convection oven microwave combo, retail $1,000 so repairing vs replacing it was a no brainer. I am a 70 year old female..going to replace my gas fireplace pilot next...

Replaced Digitron NOTE!!!!!! On line Manuel was wrong, had to remove entire case panel to access digitron. Once case panel removed then unplug Digitron and remove 4 small screws and replug new part and tighten 4 screw holing it in. Next reinstall metal case panel and tighten screws, then plug in power cord and put back in cabinet. Need 2 people to pull out and put back in to prevent dropping. Easy with good instructions!!!!!!!!

I saw some reviews that it was either the transformer or the digitron. To simplify the process I decided to replace both since the hard part is taking the unit apart. Upon doing the swap and reinstalling the microwave, the display was much brighter though it was flickering around quite a bit. After about 30 minutes, all this calmed down and all appears to work perfectly now, though still brighter. Apparently the old Digitron had grown dim over the years as well. At this point I would say it was a success!

I checked all the fuses and thermal resisters, capacitor for continuity all were good. No one in my area wanted to work on the appliance. So, I figured it was the display or power circuit board. I replaced both and the oven is fixed.
