Black E Huachuca City , AZ December 22, 2014 Appliance: Model GE SENSOR MICROWAVE OVEN The microwave completely quit working At first I thought it might be the fuse. While cleaning the inside dust accumulation the light bulb flickered on (yes, I know I should have unplugged the unit first). As I was wiggling wires I noticed a melted wire and connector to a sensor on the inside top of the microwave. I went on line, found the exact replacement at AppliancePartsPros.com. Ordered it with a very quick arrival of 2-3 days. Cut the wires and put new crimp connectors, inserted the sensor, plugged the wires, and for $25.00 the microwave was functional. A few minutes work and savings of over $100. Great day in the DIY world.
