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.

Paul N Richmond , VA December 19, 2018 Appliance: Model GE JES636WD In my old (2002) GE microwave the power would turn off after using the microwave steadily for more than 15 20 minutes I replaced the TCO-Oven Cavity switch AP part number AP4341054 a few days ago. So far, the problem has not recurred. Because 2 of the 4 screws holding the outer shell were some kind of Torx (hexagonal) screw with a central hole, To remove the microwave outer shell, I had to remove those screws by cutting slots in them with a hacksaw, and then using a flat-bladed screwdriver. Also, replacing the case in its slots was a little tricky. This part of the repair took the most time. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
