Parts for Ge PVM1790DR1CC: 04 - Latch Board Parts

The Door Interlock Switch is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It ensures the safety of the microwave by preventing the appliance from operating while the door is open. This switch is part of a microwave's safety mechanism, which includes multiple interlock systems designed to stop the generation of microwaves immediately once the door is opened, thereby protecting users from exposure to microwave radiation.

Signs that it's time to replace your door interlock switch include the microwave not starting or stopping unexpectedly, the microwave continuing to operate with the door open, or a failure to heat food even though the appliance seems to be running. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Interlock Switch include:

• Microwave does not start
• Microwave stops unexpectedly
• The microwave operates with the door open
• Microwave turns on but does not heat food

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Switch Holder is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It securely holds the door switches in place, ensuring that the microwave operates correctly and safely. The door switches detect whether the microwave door is closed, enabling the appliance to start cooking.

Symptoms of a bad switch holder include:

• The microwave not starting or stopping unexpectedly
• The door not latching properly
• Error messages related to door issues

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