• Stops or reduces loud humming/vibrating noises when a worn motor is replaced
• Resolves warm spots or slow recovery after door openings when airflow was impaired

• One circulation fan motor assembly

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock
• Remove interior panels or evaporator cover per your model's service instructions
• Handle the fan blade and motor shaft carefully to avoid bending or damage
• Test operation after installation and reassemble panels securely

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.

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. 

This rivet assembly is a direct-replacement fastening piece used to secure appliance panels and components, restoring a stable, rattle-free fit and preventing movement caused by worn or broken rivets. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or component mounts to restore proper alignment and support
• Stops rattling, vibration, or loose hardware caused by damaged or missing rivets
• Provides a durable mechanical fastener where original rivets have sheared or loosened
• Helps maintain safe operation by keeping parts properly retained

• Disconnect power (and gas/water if applicable) before attempting any repairs
• Removal may require drilling out the old rivet; installation typically needs a rivet gun or equivalent tool
• Keep hardware orientation the same as the original; replace any damaged surrounding parts

This glass turntable tray replaces a damaged or missing tray in your microwave. It provides a stable, heat-resistant surface that rotates to promote even heating and helps prevent dishes from tipping or wobbling during cooking.

• Provides the flat, heat-resistant surface that holds plates and bowls
• Interfaces with the center drive coupler and rides on the roller ring/turntable support to rotate for even heating
• Common symptoms: cracked or broken glass, tray wobbles or slips, won't seat or rotate smoothly, clicking/grinding while turning
• Replace if the center hub area is worn or if the original tray is missing

• Allow the oven to cool; open the door and lift out the old tray. Clean the roller ring/turntable support and cavity floor
• Ensure the roller ring/turntable support is seated correctly
• Align the tray's molded drive slots with the center coupler and set the tray flat on the ring
• Test rotation with a microwave-safe cup of water; do not operate the microwave without the tray and support in place

Y shaped support with rollers.

The Switch Holder is an OEM component specifically designed for GE microwaves. Located inside the microwave cavity, this holder securely mounts interaction switches, sensors, and buttons.

Causes of a faulty switch holder include cracks or breaks developing from years of normal vibration and use.

Symptoms of a bad switch holder include:

• Switches, sensors, or buttons becoming loose, detached, or misaligned
• The microwave fails to register user input or respond appropriately
• Potential shock or short circuit risks if connections are exposed
• Reduced lifespan of mounted components through excessive movement

This genuine GE part is compatible with models including Profile, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.

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 Diode Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It plays a crucial role in converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which is essential for the microwave’s high-voltage functions, including powering the magnetron to generate microwave energy.

Over time, diodes can fail due to electrical surges, excessive heat, or wear and tear. A faulty diode assembly can lead to inefficient or non-functional microwave operation, impacting its ability to heat food properly.

Symptoms of a bad diode assembly include:

• Microwave not heating food
• Sparking or arcing inside the microwave
• Burning smell or unusual noises during operation
• Microwave turning on but failing to generate heat

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