The Magnetron is an OEM component specifically designed for GE microwaves. The magnetron is responsible for generating microwave radiation that cooks food by utilizing electromagnetic energy. It works by accelerating electrons within a vacuum tube using a magnet to generate microwave emissions. 

Causes of a bad magnetron can include overuse, excessive cooking times, damage from arcing due to sparks, or general wear and tear over time. 

Symptoms of a bad magnetron include:

• Inefficient or inconsistent cooking and heating 
• Longer cook times required 
• Food not cooking thoroughly or remaining cold in spots
• The microwave making buzzing or humming noises during use

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

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

This single wiring harness routes electrical connections between components, restoring reliable power and signal flow for affected circuits. Replaces a damaged or worn harness to help stop intermittent failures and restore normal appliance operation. What it does

• Transfers power and signals between components so switches, timers, and heating elements can operate.
• Replaces frayed, burnt, or broken wires that cause intermittent operation or complete loss of function.
• Helps resolve symptoms such as components not powering on, inconsistent operation, or visible wiring damage.
• Matches OEM connector ends and wire lengths to maintain correct routing and secure connections.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before beginning work.
• Verify connector orientation and wire routing against the appliance wiring diagram; do not force connectors.
• Handle terminals and insulation carefully; do not shorten, splice, or re-insulate unless specified by the OEM.

This replacement microwave lamp restores proper lighting inside the cavity or over the cooktop. A working bulb improves visibility while cooking and checking doneness, and allows the light feature to operate as intended.

• Provides illumination when the door opens or when the light button is used
• Helps you see food during cooking and cleanup
• Typical failure symptoms: no light, flickering, or intermittent lighting
• Visible darkening or a broken filament indicates the bulb has failed

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before replacing
• Allow the bulb and surrounding area to cool
• Match the base style and electrical rating to your original bulb per the owner's manual
• If your bulb is the halogen capsule style, handle with clean gloves or a cloth; avoid touching the glass

The Fuse is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It serves as a safety device designed to protect the microwave from excessive current that can cause overheating and potential fire hazards. When the current flowing through the microwave circuit exceeds a certain level, the fuse blows or breaks, cutting off the power to prevent damage or fire.

Common causes for a fuse to blow include power surges, faulty wiring within the appliance, or the use of microwave inappropriate containers that cause sparks. It is essential to address these issues not only to replace the fuse but also to correct the underlying problems to prevent future failures.

Symptoms of a bad fuse include:

• The microwave suddenly stops working.
• No signs of power or response even when the microwave door is closed and the start button is pressed.

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

The Thermostat is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This thermostat maintains safe operating temperatures by monitoring the internal heat levels and regulating the microwave's heating elements.  

Causes of a bad thermostat can include electrical issues, repeated heating cycles leading to wear and tear, or damage from power surges.  

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• The microwave not heating properly
• The microwave shutting off unexpectedly during operation
• Error codes or warning signals related to temperature issues
• The microwave not starting at all

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

This HVC mounting bracket secures the HVC assembly inside the appliance to keep components aligned and stable during operation. It restores proper positioning and reduces noise or movement caused by a loose bracket. What it does:

• Provides a mounting point to hold the HVC assembly securely in place
• Prevents vibration and rattling from a loose or damaged bracket
• Keeps electrical and mechanical components aligned for reliable operation
• Helps stop intermittent contacts or shifting that can cause unusual noises

• One HVC mounting bracket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use basic hand tools; keep track of mounting hardware for reassembly
• Inspect surrounding parts and wiring for damage before reinstalling
• Replace corroded or stripped fasteners to ensure a secure fit

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.
