This stirrer assembly circulates microwave energy inside the cavity so food heats more evenly and prevents cold spots. It replaces a damaged or noisy stirrer that can cause uneven cooking or unusual microwave noise. What it does:

• Spins the microwave stirrer to help distribute microwave energy for more even heating
• Reduces hotspots and cold spots during cooking
• Stops or reduces rattling, grinding, or squealing noises when the original stirrer is worn
• Helps prevent arcing or sparking caused by a cracked or broken stirrer cover

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Access may require removing the microwave's outer cabinet or control panel; follow OEM service manual steps.
• Handle the stirrer and cover carefully—plastic parts can crack if forced.

Supports the removable wire rack inside your microwave cavity. Replace this holder if cracked, broken, or missing to restore stable two-level cooking capability.

Microwave turntable not rotating? This drive motor powers the glass tray rotation mechanism. Direct-fit replacement part for common turntable issues.

This run capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run smoothly by storing and releasing electrical energy. Replacing a worn capacitor can restore reliable motor operation and reduce abnormal motor noise or cycling. What it does:

• Provides the brief power boost motors need to start and maintain RPM
• Helps stabilize motor voltage and improve run efficiency under load
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as motors that hum but won't start, slow or intermittent motor operation, or unusual motor noise
• Reduces stress on motor windings that can lead to premature failure when functioning properly

• One motor capacitor

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing

This is a humidity sensor mounted inside the microwave that detects moisture levels in the cooking cavity. It enables auto-cook and auto-reheat functions by signaling the control board when food has released enough steam. Replace this sensor if auto-cook cycles consistently overcook or undercook food, or if the microwave displays a sensor error code.

Controls exhaust airflow in over-the-range microwaves. Replaces bent, damaged, or missing damper assemblies for proper external venting installation.

This latch body is the door latch component that secures the appliance door during operation, restoring reliable closure so cycles can run normally. Use it to replace a worn or damaged latch that won't hold the door closed. What it does:

• Engages the door striker to hold the door closed and maintain a proper seal during operation
• Works with the door latch mechanism so the appliance can complete cycles that require a closed door
• Common symptom: door won't stay closed, is difficult to latch, or feels loose at the latch point
• Replacing a damaged latch body can prevent intermittent door-open errors and restore normal door operation

• Disconnect power (unplug or turn off circuit breaker) before starting any repair
• Remove the door or access panel as needed; keep track of fasteners and any trim pieces
• Handle door glass and trim carefully to avoid damage; test latch engagement before full reassembly

The Microwave Door Switch is an OEM part for GE microwaves, designed to prevent the microwave from operating when the door is open by interrupting the power whenever the door is not securely closed. The door switch is an essential safety feature.

Symptoms of a failing Microwave Door Switch include:

• The microwave not starting or heating
• Running when the door is opened
• Unusual noises when the door is closed  

Causes of a bad Microwave Door Switch can result from repeated opening and closing of the door or slamming that can cause the switch to degrade or become misaligned, leading to intermittent or failure.

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

This is a monitor or interlock switch that detects whether the microwave door is properly closed before allowing the unit to operate. It is a safety device that shuts off microwave power if the door is open or if other door switches malfunction. Replace this switch if the microwave does not start, runs with the door open, or blows a fuse when the door is closed.

The Lower Lever Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. This component activates the door interlock switch when the microwave door is closed. It ensures that the microwave only operates when the door is securely closed, preventing any operational hazards.

Symptoms of a bad Lower Lever Switch include:

• The microwave not starting, indicating the door isn't recognized as closed
• The appliance operating with the door open, a clear safety hazard
• Unusual sounds or issues when attempting to start the microwave
• The need to apply extra pressure to keep the door closed

Common causes for a malfunctioning Lower Lever Switch can be attributed to mechanical wear from frequent use, damage incurred during cleaning or use, or internal issues affecting the switch’s activation mechanism.

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

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.

Fix a microwave that won't heat or hums but doesn't start. This capacitor stores energy for the high-voltage circuit. Moderate DIY repair, 30-60 minutes.

Microwave not heating or humming loudly? The high-voltage diode converts AC to DC for the magnetron. Repair takes 30-45 minutes with basic tools.

Rear duct assembly for microwaves. Channels air from the ventilation system. Replace if cracked, damaged, or missing to restore proper airflow routing.

Fix a microwave that stopped heating or made a loud noise. This high voltage transformer powers the magnetron. Moderate DIY repair for experienced users.

This thermal fuse is a safety device designed to cut off power to the microwave if internal temperatures exceed safe limits. It is a small, inline fuse typically mounted near the magnetron or cavity. Replace this part if the microwave has completely stopped working with no display or response, especially after an overheating event.

Base plate for microwave interior. Mounts at the bottom of the cavity to support the turntable assembly. Replace if cracked, warped, or broken.
