Parts for Ge PSA1200RBB02: 07 - Installation Parts

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. 

The Damper is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This part controls the airflow within the microwave, allowing steam and hot air to be vented properly during cooking. The damper opens and closes to regulate the release of excess moisture and heat, ensuring optimal cooking performance and preventing overheating.

Causes of a bad damper can include wear and tear from regular use, buildup of grease or food particles, or mechanical failure.

Symptoms of a bad damper include:

• Excessive steam or heat buildup inside the microwave
• Unusual noises during operation
• The microwave overheating or shutting down unexpectedly
• Inconsistent cooking results

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

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.

The Installation Hardware Kit is an OEM part for GE over-the-range microwaves. It contains brackets and fasteners used to securely mount the microwave above the range cooking surface.

Symptoms requiring an installation hardware replacement include:

• Missing or damaged anti-tip brackets  
• Loose mounting screws or damaged mounting plates
• Inability to properly position and affix the microwave

Causes can be stripped mounts from over-tightening old hardware or components lost during a previous removal. Normal wear over extended use may also degrade hardware.

This genuine GE kit is compatible with some Profile and GE Profile series models as well.

This is a truss-head self-tapping screw used to secure appliance panels and trim. It replaces a lost or damaged mounting screw to restore proper fit and stop rattles or loose parts. What it does

• Secures trim, panels, brackets or small components where a low-profile, wide-head screw is required
• Self-tapping design cuts threads into sheet metal or similar substrates—no nut required
• Restores tight mounting to reduce vibration, rattling or misaligned panels
• Commonly used in refrigerators, ranges and other household appliances

• One truss-head self-tapping screw

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and work on a cool appliance
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Do not overtighten—turn until snug and the part is secure but not distorted
• Replace with the exact part number to ensure fit and function
