Rosser F Ocala , FL April 23, 2016 Ge microwave thermal overload failed I removed the cover of the microwave (four back Torx screws had "safety" posts in the middle that prevented inserting a driver so had to use pliers to remove) and by visual inspection saw that one of the wire terminals on the oven thermal overload had burned up. I ordered a direct replacement part from AppliancePartsPros.com and replaced the part, put a new crimp connector on the wire, and every thing works great now!

Leslie L St.Clairsville , OH September 06, 2015 Ge microwave quit working control panel had no power My husband took it apart. He found thermostat burnt out. It appeared to be loose from the get go. Of course he is knowledgeable w electronics. He followed safety directions. Checked different sensors to also make sure they worked as well. He decided to have me check online and I remembered this site. I was able to enter model number and get parts diagram and ordered the correct thermostat. An $11 part plus s&h saved us over $100 for repair at service center or $200 for an exact replacement! Again, my husband is very capable of this sort of repair. If you are not, I wouldn't recommend trying to repair a microwave. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
