General Electric Microwave Fuse Or Sensor

A temperature sensor assembly that monitors internal temperatures and sends readings to the appliance control so the unit can maintain proper heating or cooling. Replacing a failed sensor restores accurate temperature regulation and consistent performance. What it does

• Detects and reports temperature to the electronic control or thermostat
• Helps the appliance maintain set temperatures for consistent operation
• A faulty sensor can cause inaccurate temperature readings or uneven heating/cooling
• May trigger temperature-related error codes or put the unit into a diagnostic/fail-safe mode

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair
• Handle the sensor and its wiring gently; avoid bending or damaging the sensing tip or connectors
• Reconnect wiring securely and confirm correct routing to prevent interference with moving parts

This thermostat cavity is a genuine General Electric part, sold individually. It can be used as a replacement part for a microwave. This thermostat cavity regulates the temperature and power of the appliance so that it can properly heat up food and other items inserted into the appliance. The thermostat cavity is made out of durable gray metal.The thermostat cavity of a microwave might have to be replaced if it exhibits either of the following symptoms: the exhaust fan of the microwave is malfunctioning, or the microwave does not run or runs for under ten seconds before stopping. If either of these symptoms occur, the thermostat cavity should be removed and replaced by this genuine OEM replacement part before using the microwave again. Remember to wear work gloves while inspecting the thermostat cavity and while conducting a replacement. It is a relatively complicated replacement that will require several special tools.This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually. This thermostat cavity is compatible with General Electric brand microwaves.

Temperature-sensing thermostat that controls an appliance's heating cycle to keep temperatures within a safe operating range. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper temperature cycling, helps prevent overheating, and stabilizes performance. What it does:

• Opens or closes at its designed trip point to control heating elements or temperature circuits.
• Stops heating when the set temperature is reached and allows heating to resume when temperature falls.
• A faulty thermostat can cause no heat, continuous heating, erratic cycling, or temperature that never stabilizes.
• Used as the temperature control device in the appliance's heat-regulation system.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Match wiring and mounting to the original thermostat; do not force terminals or sensor elements.
• Handle the sensor and terminals carefully to avoid damage; do not kink or crush the sensing element.

• Common symptom: oven or burner stops heating or cycles off unexpectedly
• Common symptom: oven will not maintain set temperature or complete heating cycles

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Replace with the exact part number; follow OEM wiring and mounting orientation
• Inspect surrounding wiring and insulation for heat damage; replace if frayed

Replacement thermostat that senses and controls the appliance heating system to restore accurate heating and stable temperature cycles, helping the appliance reach and maintain the set temperature. What it does:

• Senses temperature and signals the heating element or valve to turn on/off to maintain set temperature.
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as failure to reach set temperature, temperature fluctuating or cycling erratically, or continuous heating.
• Works as the temperature-regulation component in the appliance's control pathway to stabilize performance.
• Matches the OEM function for temperature control; use when thermostat diagnostics indicate a failed or inaccurate sensor.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting removal or installation to avoid shock or ignition hazards.
• Handle the sensing element and terminals carefully to avoid damage; ensure secure electrical connections and proper routing of any capillary or sensor lead.
• After installation, test the appliance through a full heat cycle to confirm correct operation.

This temperature thermistor is the sensor that lets the control board monitor and regulate appliance temperature for reliable cooling performance. Replacing a failing thermistor can restore proper temperature control and cycling. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and sends readings to the control board
• Helps the compressor, fans, and defrost system run at the right times
• Commonly linked to symptoms like incorrect temperatures, overcooling, or frequent on/off cycling
• A faulty thermistor can cause improper defrost timing or erratic cooling behavior

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing the sensor to avoid shock
• Handle the sensor and wiring connector gently to avoid damage
• Mount the sensor in the original location and secure wiring per OEM routing

This thermostat regulates oven temperature to help maintain consistent cooking results and prevent under- or over-heating. It replaces a failed temperature control component to restore accurate oven cycles. What it does:

• Senses oven temperature and signals the control to cycle the heating element or burner
• Helps correct symptoms like oven not reaching set temperature or running too hot/too cold
• Works with the oven's control system to maintain stable cooking temperatures
• Functions as the temperature-sensing switch for bake/oven operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the thermostat and sensing bulb carefully; avoid kinking or damaging the capillary tube if present
• Mount and secure per the OEM layout; confirm correct orientation and probe placement for accurate sensing

The Fuse is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It serves as a safety device designed to protect the microwave from excessive current that can cause overheating and potential fire hazards. When the current flowing through the microwave circuit exceeds a certain level, the fuse blows or breaks, cutting off the power to prevent damage or fire.

Common causes for a fuse to blow include power surges, faulty wiring within the appliance, or the use of microwave inappropriate containers that cause sparks. It is essential to address these issues not only to replace the fuse but also to correct the underlying problems to prevent future failures.

Symptoms of a bad fuse include:

• The microwave suddenly stops working.
• No signs of power or response even when the microwave door is closed and the start button is pressed.

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

This thermostat cavity is the molded housing that holds the oven thermostat sensor in place, keeping the sensor positioned for accurate temperature sensing. Replaces a worn or cracked housing to help restore proper sensor alignment. What it does:

• Secures the thermostat sensor/tube so the oven can monitor internal temperature reliably
