The Switch Monitor Interlock is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. This safety component ensures that the microwave operates only when the door is securely closed. It prevents the microwave from running if the door is open, providing a critical safety feature to protect users from exposure to microwave radiation.

Causes of a bad switch monitor interlock can include wear and tear over time, mechanical damage from frequent door opening and closing, or electrical malfunctions that impact its performance.

Symptoms of a bad Switch Monitor Interlock include:

• The microwave not starting or operating intermittently
• The microwave running with the door open
• Error messages or safety warnings displayed on the control panel
• Unusual clicking or buzzing noises when the microwave door is opened or closed

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

The Capacitor High Voltage is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It stores and releases high voltage electrical energy to power the magnetron, which generates the microwaves for cooking.

Over time, capacitors can deteriorate due to prolonged exposure to high voltage, excessive heat, or electrical surges. A malfunctioning capacitor can lead to inefficient cooking or complete failure of the microwave.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• The microwave not heating food properly
• A loud humming or buzzing noise during operation
• The microwave shutting down unexpectedly
• Visible damage or leakage from the capacitor

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

This suction guide positions and supports the appliance's suction component to help ensure proper fit and reliable operation. Replacing a damaged guide restores alignment so the suction assembly can work as intended. What it does:

• Helps cool internal parts while venting cooking steam and odors
• Typical failure signs: scraping/rattling noises, reduced or no airflow, poor venting performance, or intermittent overheating shutdown

• 1 blower fan wheel

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug before servicing
• If over-the-range or built-in, support the unit and follow manufacturer procedures to access the blower housing
• Match the original wheel orientation and seat fully onto the motor shaft
• Spin by hand to ensure free rotation and clearance; reassemble and test all fan speeds

This magnetron is the microwave's RF generator—the tube that creates the microwave energy used to heat food. Replacing a failed unit restores proper heating performance so your oven reliably cooks, reheats, and defrosts as intended. What it does:

• Produces high-frequency microwave energy to heat food inside the cavity
• Common failure symptoms: runs but no heat, loud humming/buzzing, burning odor, breaker trips or shutting off shortly after start
• Resolves weak heating and unusually long cook times when the magnetron has degraded

• 1 magnetron

• Unplug the microwave and discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing; high voltage can remain even when unplugged
• Handle the tube by the metal body; avoid stressing the ceramic insulators or antenna
• Reinstall using the original mounting hardware; ensure correct orientation and reconnect wires as noted
• Test with a cup of water after reassembly; if no heat persists, further diagnosis of the HV diode, capacitor, or transformer may be required

This AC fan motor is the refrigerator fan motor that circulates air to maintain proper cooling and airflow. It replaces a worn or failed fan motor to help restore steady airflow and consistent temperatures. What it does:

• Spins the evaporator/condenser fan blade to move air through the refrigerator cooling system
• Restores airflow when fan has stopped running or runs intermittently
• Reduces unusual fan noise or vibration caused by a failing motor
• Helps correct uneven cooling or frost build-up linked to poor air circulation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any work

• Helps maintain proper venting/airflow by keeping the damper aligned
• Commonly replaced when the bracket is cracked, bent, or fails to secure the damper

• One bracket damper (single support bracket)

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Basic hand tools required; may need access to the vent/door trim or rear panel
• Handle sharp edges carefully and retain all mounting hardware unless noted otherwise

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

This AC synchronous motor drives timed or fixed-speed rotations in compatible appliances to restore reliable timing and rotation. Ideal when a worn motor prevents timers, clocks or small gear-driven functions from operating. What it does:

• Turns at a constant, AC-synchronous speed to drive timers, clocks or small mechanical linkages.
• Replaces a failed or noisy timer/clock motor to restore timed functions.
• Common symptoms: appliance clock or timer won't advance, no rotation of small mechanisms, or intermittent timer operation.
• Operates as a direct replacement for the listed part number when matched to the appliance's OEM specification.

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any repair.
• Note or photograph original wire locations and mounting orientation to ensure correct reconnection.
• Use basic hand tools; some models require removing a control panel or control box to access the motor.

The Stirrer Fan Cover Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It covers and protects the stirrer fan, which distributes microwave energy evenly within the cooking cavity, ensuring food is heated uniformly.

Causes of a bad stirrer fan cover assembly can include exposure to high heat, physical damage from improper handling, or buildup of food particles and grease over time.

Symptoms of a bad stirrer fan cover assembly include:

• Uneven cooking or heating of food
• Rattling or unusual noises during operation
• Visible damage or warping of the cover
• The cover not fitting securely in place

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

This heater sheath is the protective metal sleeve that surrounds a dryer/oven heating element, helping protect the element and focus heat where needed for reliable appliance heating performance. What it does:
