Description

The Switch Lever is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is a component that allows for control of microwave functions by sensing the door position. The switch lever monitors whether the door is securely shut before enabling any cooking cycles, preventing hazardous radiation exposure.

Causes can involve wear and tear over time from repeated use. Exposure to moisture or impact damage may also compromise its operation.

Symptoms of a bad switch lever include:

• Error messages or indicator lights signaling a door issue
• Inability to lock or latch the door securely
• Failure to enable microwave functions with the door closed

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