The Microwave Exhaust Adapter is an OEM replacement part for GE built-in microwave ovens. Located at the top or rear of the microwave, the exhaust adapter connects the ventilation system that removes steam, smoke, and odors produced during cooking. 

Symptoms of a bad exhaust adapter can include: 

• Moisture or steam films accumulating on interior surfaces   
• Strange vibration noises coming from the ventilation connection
• Reduced cooking efficiency as hot air lingers inside the cavity
• Visible cracks, separations, or blockages in the adapter itself

Causes of a bad exhaust adapter microwave include natural wear from repeated heating cycles, cracks or damage from installation/removal, or blockages from grease/ residue accumulation over time.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore built-in microwave models. 

This damper is the exhaust vent flap for a microwave. It opens to let air flow out while venting and closes when the fan is off to help prevent drafts, moisture, and debris from entering the unit.

• Directs airflow from the microwave to the outside or recirculation duct
• Helps prevent backflow of air and odors when the fan is off
• A common cause of rattling noises, poor venting, or backdrafts during operation
• Replaces a warped, stuck, or missing vent flap to restore proper ventilation

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access is typically from the top or rear once the unit is removed or tilted forward
• Note airflow direction and hinge orientation before removal
• Ensure the flap moves freely after installation and proper airflow

The Mounting Plate Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This component is designed to mount and stabilize the microwave over the range, ensuring it is safely anchored in its designated space. The mounting plate serves as an interface between the microwave and the wall or cabinet, distributing the weight evenly and providing a firm foundation for the appliance.

Causes of a bad Mounting Plate Assembly can stem from improper installation, which may lead to undue stress and eventual warping or weakening of the material.

Symptoms of a bad Mounting Plate include:

• Loose or wobbly microwave unit, indicating the plate may be unable to properly support the microwave's weight.

• Difficulty in aligning or fitting the microwave onto the mounting plate, which could be due to warping or damage.

• Visible signs of wear, rust, or damage on the plate itself, which can compromise the stability and safety of the mounted microwave.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
