General Electric Microwave Parts

This magnetron is the high-voltage tube that generates the microwave energy used to heat food in compatible microwave ovens. Installing a new magnetron restores microwave heating when the tube has failed. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage electrical energy into microwave radiation to heat food
• Restores heating when oven powers up but does not heat or has weak heating
• Addresses humming, arcing/ sparks, or blown microwave fuses caused by a failed tube
• Works as the core microwave source; must be used with intact waveguide and protective cover

• One magnetron (quantity: 1)

• High-voltage components retain lethal charge; disconnect power and discharge the capacitor before service
• Inspect and replace any damaged waveguide cover or high-voltage wiring when installing
• Do not operate the microwave with the outer cover removed; follow OEM torque and mounting instructions

This capacitor helps the refrigerator compressor start and run more reliably by providing the motor with an extra electrical boost when needed. Replacing a failing capacitor restores proper starting torque and improves cooling consistency. What it does:

• Provides the extra electrical charge the compressor motor needs to start and maintain normal operation
• Reduces hard-starting or repeated starting attempts that can overheat the compressor
• Can stop or reduce humming, clicking, or nonstop running caused by a weak start circuit
• Supports stable compressor performance for consistent refrigerator temperatures

• One capacitor (single unit)

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing electrical components
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock
• Inspect wiring and mounting; replace only with the exact OEM part number

This high-voltage diode assembly replaces the diode in a microwave high-voltage circuit to help restore normal heating and high-voltage operation. It provides the one-way conduction needed for the magnetron's high-voltage supply. What it does:

• Converts AC to DC in the microwave high-voltage circuit so the magnetron can produce microwaves
• Commonly associated with weak/no heating or intermittent heating
• Can cause blown high-voltage fuses or arcing if failed
• Prevents reverse current from damaging other high-voltage components

• Disconnect power and discharge the high-voltage capacitor before service to avoid serious shock
• Handle carefully; high-voltage components and terminals can retain charge
• Check related high-voltage components (capacitor, transformer, fuse) for damage when diagnosing

This thermostat cavity is the molded housing that secures and protects the refrigerator thermostat and its sensing components, helping maintain correct sensor placement for reliable temperature control. Replaces a worn or cracked thermostat mount. What it does:

• Holds the thermostat and sensor in the correct position for accurate temperature sensing
• Protects thermostat and wiring from moisture, debris, and physical damage
• Keeps electrical connections and routing organized to prevent loose or pinched wires
• Can restore proper thermostat seating that may cause intermittent cooling or temperature control issues

• One thermostat cavity

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Basic hand tools required; handle edges carefully to avoid cuts
• Retain and reinstall existing thermostat and sensor unless replacing them separately

This H.V. transformer supplies the high voltage needed to drive the magnetron in microwave ovens so food heats properly. Replacing a failed transformer restores the high-voltage supply that powers microwave output. What it does:

• Converts incoming low-voltage power to the high-voltage required by the magnetron
• Enables normal heating; a bad transformer can cause no-heat or weak-heat symptoms
• Can produce humming, burning smells, arcing, or tripped fuses when failing
• Works with the high-voltage diode and capacitor as part of the HV circuit

• One H.V. transformer

• Disconnect power and verify the appliance is unplugged before starting
• Discharge the high-voltage capacitor fully to prevent shock; use insulated tools
• Handle the transformer carefully — it is heavy and mounted with screws/brackets

This retainer is a small mounting clip that secures compatible appliance components in place to prevent movement and wear. It restores proper alignment so related parts stay seated and operate quietly and safely. What it does:

• Holds a specific component or harness firmly to the appliance frame or assembly
• Prevents rubbing, vibration noise, or parts shifting during operation
• Helps maintain correct part alignment for reliable function
• Common symptom: loose, rattling, or misaligned components where the retainer is missing or damaged

• One retainer

• Disconnect power and any fuel sources before starting work
• Inspect surrounding parts for damage before installing the retainer
• Typically installs with basic hand tools; avoid over-tightening nearby fasteners
