Parts for Ge JVM3160DF8BB: Interior Parts (1) Parts

This is a binding-head screw used to fasten panels and components on compatible GE appliances. It provides secure, low-profile fastening where a binding head design is required for proper fit and alignment. What it does

• Secures panels, brackets, or small assemblies to prevent movement or rattling.
• Replaces a missing or stripped screw that causes loose parts or squeaks.
• Restores proper alignment for components that rely on the binding-head profile.
• Works where a shallow, rounded head and threaded shaft are specified.

• Use the correct driver size to avoid cam-out or head damage.
• Do not overtighten; snug until secure to avoid stripping threads or damaging parts.
• Disconnect power and follow all appliance-specific safety procedures before accessing panels.

The Cooking Tray is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This tray sits on the turntable in the microwave and holds the food items being heated or cooked, allowing for even rotation and uniform cooking.

Causes of a bad cooking tray can include cracks or breaks from heavy use, exposure to extreme temperatures, or accidental drops.  

Symptoms of a bad cooking tray include:

• Cracks or chips on the tray
• Difficulty in rotating or the tray not rotating at all
• Unstable placement of food items
• Uneven cooking results

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

The Turntable Ring Assembly is an OEM part compatible with GE microwaves. It consists of the circular ring component that houses the turntable mechanism. This assembly is crucial for rotating food evenly during the microwave cooking cycle.

Causes of a bad turntable ring assembly can include wear and tear from years of use, damage from spilled or baked-on food remnants, or cracks/breaks from accidental impact. 

Symptoms of a bad assembly include:

• The turntable no longer spins or rotates unevenly
• Excessive noise or grinding sounds coming from beneath the turntable 
• Cracks or breaks in the plastic ring housing

This GE replacement part will restore optimized cooking performance by enabling even heat distribution. It is designed to directly replace the original component. This OEM part is also compatible with some Kenmore microwaves. Maintaining your microwave includes periodic replacement of consumable parts like the turntable ring.
 

This AC synchronous motor powers the microwave's rotating mechanism—such as the mode stirrer or, on some models, the turntable—to circulate energy for more even cooking. Replacing a noisy, seized, or non-turning motor restores smooth rotation and consistent heating.

• Provides steady, low-speed rotation to drive the internal stirrer or turntable
• Promotes more uniform heating by distributing microwave energy
• Common symptoms of a failing motor: uneven heating, rattling/grinding from the cabinet, or the rotating component not turning
• Direct replacement for the original synchronous drive motor

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage components that can retain a charge
• Access and location vary by model; remove the outer cover/grille to reach the motor
• Note shaft orientation and transfer any coupler; reuse existing mounting hardware
• Do not operate the unit with covers removed; after reassembly, test with a microwave-safe cup of water

The Turntable Shaft is an OEM part for GE built-in and over-the-range microwaves. It acts as the central hub on which the turntable platter smoothly rotates during the cooking cycle. 

Causes of a problematic shaft can include wear from prolonged use creating play or friction in rotational movement. Debris intrusion into the central bearing assembly can also affect smooth operation over time.

Symptoms of a bad shaft include: 

• Turntable that no longer spins consistently or doesn't turn at all
• Grating or grinding noises coming from below the turntable 
• Imbalanced cooking results affecting some areas more than others

This GE replacement shaft ensures even heating by allowing for uniform distribution of microwave energy throughout cooking. Compatible with GE Profile, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore units, it restores reliable functionality before further troubles develop.
 

This high-voltage capacitor stores and releases the electrical energy needed by a microwave's high-voltage system so the oven can produce heat. It replaces a failed capacitor to restore reliable high-voltage performance. What it does:

• Stores high-voltage charge used by the magnetron to generate microwave energy
• Helps the oven reach and maintain proper cooking power
• Common symptom: microwave runs but does not heat
• Linked to blown high-voltage fuse or arcing inside the cavity

• One high-voltage capacitor

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before servicing
• Discharge the capacitor fully before touching terminals; it can hold a dangerous charge even when unplugged
• Use insulated tools and avoid touching leads
• Inspect associated high-voltage components (diode, transformer, fuse) and wiring when replacing the capacitor

The Microwave Transformer is an OEM component specifically designed for GE built-in microwave ovens. This transformer steps down household voltage to safely power microwave generation and magnetron tube operation. 

Causes of failure can be heat cycling degrading insulation or loose electrical connections resulting in arcing. Moisture damage over time can corrode internal windings and circuitry.

Symptoms include: 

• Inability to produce microwaves for consistent cooking 
• Sparking or burning smells coming from transformer casing
• Tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses after usage  
• Intermittent or unreliable power to oven electronics

This genuine GE part is compatible with Hotpoint and select Kenmore microwaves as well.

Magnetron with thermal fuse.

The Thermostat is an OEM part for GE  microwaves. It monitors the temperature inside the microwave during operation.

Causes of a bad thermostat can be simply wear and tear over time. Exposure to spills, dirt, or dust can also cause issues.

Symptoms of a bad microwave thermostat include:

• Food not heating evenly or completely
• Longer than normal cook times needed
• Error messages related to abnormal temperatures
• Potential overheating issues or damage due to lack of temperature control

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

The Diode Cable Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This part converts AC power to DC power, which is crucial for the microwave's operation.  

Causes of a bad diode cable assembly can include electrical surges, overheating, or general wear and tear.  

Symptoms of a bad diode cable assembly include:

• Microwave not heating food
• Unusual noises during operation
• Burning smell or visible damage to the cable
• Microwave shutting off unexpectedly

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

This fuse assembly is a safety component that opens the circuit when an overcurrent or short occurs, protecting the appliance's wiring and electronics. Replacing a blown fuse assembly can restore power once the underlying fault has been corrected. What it does:

• Provides overcurrent protection by interrupting power during a fault
• Helps with symptoms such as a completely dead unit, dark display/control panel, stopping mid-cycle, or repeatedly blown fuses
• Protects internal wiring and control components from damage
• Designed to fail safely to prevent further electrical issues

• 1 fuse assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; if hardwired, switch off the circuit breaker
• Replace only with the correct fuse type/rating specified for your model
• Identify and correct the root cause of the blown fuse (e.g., shorted wiring or component) to avoid repeat failure

The Thermostat is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This part regulates the temperature within the microwave, ensuring it operates within safe and efficient temperature ranges. It helps prevent overheating by monitoring and controlling the internal temperature, protecting both the appliance and the user.

Causes of a bad thermostat can include wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions, or damage from power surges.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• Microwave not heating properly
• Overheating or shutting off unexpectedly
• Error codes related to temperature issues
• Inconsistent cooking times

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