Parts for Ge JVE40ST1SS: 01 - Hood Parts

This replacement fan switch controls the appliance fan motor, restoring reliable fan on/off operation and helping maintain proper airflow and temperature. It's a direct-fit control for restoring normal fan function. What it does:

• Switches power to the fan motor so the fan runs when the appliance calls for airflow
• Restores fan on/off control when the original switch fails
• Resolves symptoms such as no fan operation, intermittent fan, or loss of airflow
• Works as the user-interface switch that signals the appliance to run the fan

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock
• Handle the switch and wiring gently; match wire locations before disconnecting
• Use basic hand tools; avoid overtightening fasteners or bending terminals

This metal grease filter captures airborne grease and large particles from cooking vapors to help protect your range hood or microwave vent and keep exhaust pathways clearer. Designed for easy removal and periodic cleaning. What it does:

• Traps grease and large particles from cooking vapors to help prevent buildup in the vent
• Helps maintain airflow and reduce odors caused by accumulated grease
• Protects blower and exhaust components from grease-related wear
• Simple, removable design for routine cleaning and maintenance

• Turn off power to the appliance before accessing the vent area
• Slide or snap the filter into the vent frame following the appliance's access method
• Clean per manufacturer guidance—typically hand wash or soak with warm, soapy water; allow to dry fully before reinstalling
• Do not operate the appliance with a damaged or missing filter

This damper controls airflow between compartments to help maintain consistent temperatures and efficient cooling. Replaces a worn or broken damper to restore proper air circulation and reduce temperature imbalances. What it does:

• Opens and closes to regulate airflow between refrigerator and freezer compartments
• Helps maintain set temperatures by directing cooled air where needed
• Faulty dampers can cause uneven cooling, warm spots, or overworking compressor
• Reduces noise from loose or broken damper flaps when operating

• One damper assembly

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock
• Handle the damper flap and linkage carefully; plastic parts can be fragile
• May require removal of interior panels or shelves for access—keep track of fasteners

This replacement collar is a small support piece that centers and stabilizes a rotating shaft or drum assembly, helping reduce friction and noise for smoother operation. It restores proper alignment where a worn collar causes rubbing or wobble. What it does:

• Centers and supports the rotating shaft or drum to maintain correct alignment
• Reduces metal-on-metal contact that can cause noise, rubbing, or scraping
• Helps prevent excess wear on bearings, seals, and adjacent components
• Restores smoother rotation when a damaged collar allows wobble or vibration

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing panels or the drum/shaft assembly
• Install in the same orientation and seating as the original; inspect adjacent bearings, seals, and mounts

This recirculate duct channels exhaust air inside the range hood or microwave when the unit is set to recirculate mode, helping redirect air back through the cabinet rather than out a house vent. It replaces a damaged or missing duct to restore proper airflow routing. What it does:

• Directs recirculated exhaust air from the hood/microwave into the cabinet or filter path
• Helps maintain intended airflow when external venting is not used
• Commonly replaced when the duct is cracked, warped, or causing rattling noises
• Can resolve poor recirculation performance or uneven odor removal

What's included: One recirculate duct. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
• Remove the hood/microwave access panels per the service manual to access the duct.
• Inspect surrounding seals and fasteners; replace any damaged clips or gaskets as needed.

These twist-on plastic wire connectors join and insulate electrical conductors safely in appliance wiring. They provide a secure, low-profile connection that helps restore power continuity and prevent exposed wires. What it does:

• Joins two or more stranded or solid conductors to restore electrical continuity
• Insulates and protects wire ends from shorting or corrosion
• Helps stop intermittent connections that can cause appliance power or control issues
• Provides a compact, low-profile splice suitable for tight wiring locations

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Use the correct wire gauge and number of conductors for the connector; do not force oversized bundles
• Strip wires to the proper length, twist conductors together, then install the connector per manufacturer guidance
• Replace any damaged or brittle connectors.

This replacement cover and mounting clip protect and secures the interior appliance light, keeping the bulb shielded and held in place so the oven or range light stays covered and stable during normal use. What it does:

• Protects the interior lamp from splatter, heat, and accidental contact
• Holds the light assembly securely to prevent rattling or displacement
• Restores a cracked, broken, or missing lamp cover and its mounting clip
• Helps maintain even light distribution by keeping the bulb properly positioned

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work
• Allow the bulb and surrounding area to cool completely before handling
• Handle the cover and clip gently to avoid cracking the plastic; snap or fasten into place per original orientation
• Reinstall any removed bulb or fasteners; test the light only after reassembly and restoring power
