This microwave thermostat is a temperature-sensitive safety switch that helps protect the unit from overheating. When the preset limit is reached, it interrupts power to the affected circuit to help prevent damage and erratic shutdowns.

• Monitors temperature at its mounting location and opens the circuit if overheating is detected
• Helps protect internal components from excessive heat
• Common symptoms of a failed thermostat include: unit shuts off during cooking, won't start until it cools down, or has no power/no heat due to an open safety
• Replace if the original tests open when it should be closed

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge; only qualified persons should service and discharge the capacitor
• Note wire locations before removal and transfer connections firmly to the new thermostat
• Mount the thermostat securely and in the same position to ensure proper temperature sensing

Replaces the refrigerator temperature control thermostat to restore consistent cooling. This direct-replacement thermostat helps regulate compartment temperature so food stays at the set level and reduces temperature swings. What it does

• Senses compartment temperature and switches the cooling system on and off to maintain the selected temperature range.
• Helps prevent temperature fluctuations that can cause food to spoil or freeze unexpectedly.
• Commonly used when the refrigerator runs continuously, won't reach set temperature, or cycles erratically.
• Works with the existing control knob and wiring—intended as a like-for-like replacement.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Basic hand tools are typically required; take care not to damage the sensor bulb or capillary if present.

This limit switch is a snap-action safety/position switch used in many cooking appliances. It opens or closes an electrical circuit when a mechanism reaches its limit, enabling safe operation and helping protect components when conditions aren't met.

• Provides snap-action switching to confirm a mechanical limit or interlock within the appliance
• Changes state to allow or interrupt power when the limit is reached
• Common failure symptoms: self-clean won't start or complete, oven won't heat/start, or door lock-related error codes
• May fail a continuity test or lose its distinct "click" when actuated

• Disconnect power before service; allow appliance to cool completely
• Access and mounting vary by model—take photos and transfer wires one at a time
• Mount in the same orientation; ensure the actuator/lever aligns with the mechanism and is not bent
• After installation, verify switch operation with a continuity test while actuating the mechanism

This limit switch is a safety control for compatible cooking appliances. It opens or closes an electrical circuit when a preset limit is reached—commonly temperature or travel—helping protect components and ensure proper operation of heating and latch systems.

• Monitors a specific limit at its mounting point (temperature or mechanism travel, depending on model)
• Opens/closes the circuit to interrupt or allow power to related components
• A failed switch can prevent heating, stop self-clean from starting, or keep the door from locking/unlocking
• Helps protect wiring and controls from damage during abnormal conditions

• Disconnect power to the appliance and allow all components to cool before servicing
• Access location varies by model; take photos and label wires before removal
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new switch; secure with existing hardware
• If the old switch tripped due to overheating or binding, inspect fans, vents, and latch/linkages to correct the root cause

A replacement thermal (high-limit) fuse that restores the appliance's overheat protection by interrupting power if temperatures exceed safe limits. Use this part when the original fuse has opened or failed to protect the heating circuit. What it does:

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.
