General Electric Microwave Fuse Or Sensor

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.

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 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

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
• Protects the sensor from direct contact with heat sources and food debris
• Helps maintain consistent sensor placement after panel removal or repairs
• Common symptom: oven temperature reads incorrectly or cycles improperly when the housing is damaged

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Requires removal of the control panel or rear access panel depending on model; keep fasteners organized
• Handle gently to avoid cracking the new housing; inspect surrounding clips or tabs and replace if broken

This magnetron thermostat assembly helps prevent magnetron overheating by opening the circuit when temperatures get too high, protecting microwave components and helping restore normal operation once cooled. Fits the OEM thermostat function for safe thermal control. What it does:

• Senses excessive magnetron temperature and interrupts power to prevent overheating
• Helps stop microwave heating when the magnetron runs too hot or thermal limits are exceeded
• Common symptom: microwave powers on but does not heat or intermittently fails to heat
• Restores normal operation after cooling if no other faults are present

• Disconnect power and fully discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing
• Replace only with the correct OEM thermostat assembly to ensure proper fit and safety
• Handle with care; avoid shorting contacts or damaging terminal connections

This oven thermostat senses and regulates the oven temperature so food cooks evenly and stays at the set temperature. It replaces a failed or inaccurate temperature control to restore proper oven heating. What it does:

• Monitors oven temperature and signals the burner/elements to cycle on and off
• Helps maintain set cooking temperatures for consistent baking and roasting
• Can correct symptoms like oven running too hot or too cold, or temperature that won't stabilize
• Works with the oven's control system to ensure accurate temperature regulation

• One oven thermostat

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas supply for gas ranges) before servicing
• Handle thermostat sensing bulb and capillary tube carefully; avoid kinks or sharp bends
• Reinstall to the original mounting and verify sensing bulb placement for accurate readings

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
