Parts for Ge JVM1540LM5CS: 04 - Latch Board Parts

This monitor interlock switch is the safety door switch used in many microwaves. It detects the door latch position and helps cut power if the interlock circuit faults, restoring reliable, consistent start/stop operation. What it does:

• Senses the door latch position within the interlock assembly
• Opens the monitor safety circuit if the primary door switch sticks or fails
• Common fixes for: microwave won't start; no heat with lights/fan working; intermittent operation when moving/closing the door; blown fuse when the door is opened or closed
• Helps ensure heating only occurs with the door fully closed

• One monitor interlock microswitch

• Disconnect power and discharge the microwave's high-voltage capacitor before servicing
• Access via the control panel/interlock area; note actuator orientation and terminal positions; transfer wires one at a time
• Install in the correct interlock location (monitor) and check switch continuity with a multimeter before reassembly and testing
