This is a light bu, and it is made for microwaves. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. This specific light bu has a voltage of 120 and a wattage of 25.A new light bu might be needed if the current one does not turn on when the microwave door is opened. The light bu should also be on when the microwave is in use so that the user may see the food during the heating cycle. It is common for light bu to burn out over time and they are very easy to replace when needed.This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually and is compatible with microwaves made by General Electric.

The Magnetron is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It is responsible for generating the microwave energy used for cooking and heating food. Over time, magnetrons can wear down and become less effective. 

Symptoms of a bad Magnetron include:

• The microwave not heating food, even though it turns on and the timer counts down
• Unusual noises, such as a loud hum or buzz, during operation
• Burnt smells or smoke emanating from the microwave
• Error codes on the microwave’s display indicating a heating issue

Causes for a malfunctioning Magnetron can include a burnt-out magnetron, issues with the high-voltage diode that powers it, or problems with the control board that regulates its operation

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

This microwave magnetron thermostat is an authentic OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is used in microwave ovens to prevent fires and extensive damage to the machine if the magnetron overheats. If the thermostat reaches an unsafe temperature, determined by the factory, it will stop the microwave from cooking. If this happens, the magnetron thermostat may be the culprit and should be replaced. A built-in safety feature will prevent the microwave from working until the thermostat is replaced. To start, disconnect the power from the microwave. Use a screwdriver to remove the trim kit. Use a safety drill bit to remove the microwave panels. Locate the thermostat that is connected to the magnetron. To start, disconnect the wires and remove the thermometer from the microwave. Install the new thermostat and connect the wires. Reassemble the microwave and reconnect the power. Test to make sure the power works with the new thermostat installed.This magnetron thermometer is an electrical part that is sold individually. It is designed for use in microwave ovens manufactured by General Electric and Hotpoint.

This door latch engages the microwave's interlock system when the door closes so the unit can operate only when sealed. Replacing a worn or broken latch restores proper door closure and reliable, safe startup.

• Engages the door interlock switches to allow operation only when closed
• Keeps the door secured and properly aligned
• Helps resolve issues like "Open/Close Door" messages or the unit not starting
• Typical symptoms include a door that won't latch, pops open, or requires pressure to start

What's included: 1 door latch Install notes:

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage components
• Access is typically through the door's inner trim; use non-marring tools to release clips and swap the latch
• If over-the-range, support the unit and avoid twisting the door to maintain alignment
• After replacement, verify the door closes smoothly and the oven recognizes the door as closed

This power cord assembly restores the main electrical connection to your appliance, providing a safe, routed supply line for consistent operation. Use it to replace a damaged, frayed, or non-functioning power cord and regain reliable power. What it does

• Prevents vibration noise caused by loose or rubbing components
• Helps maintain factory fit where a damaged guide allows movement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Remove only the panels and fasteners necessary to access the damaged guide; keep hardware organized
• Plastic guides can be fragile—use gentle leverage with appropriate tools to avoid breaking mounting tabs

This high-voltage capacitor sits in the microwave's HV circuit, storing and releasing energy to power the magnetron. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor may restore heating performance and help reduce stress on other high-voltage components. What it does:

• Provides energy storage and filtering in the microwave's high-voltage circuit
• Works with the HV transformer and diode to supply power to the magnetron
• Common symptoms: runs but doesn't heat; loud hum/buzz during cook; blows the internal fuse or trips a breaker when cooking starts; visible bulging or leakage on the capacitor

• 1 high-voltage capacitor

• Unplug the microwave; for built-in/OTR units, switch off the circuit breaker as well
• The capacitor can retain a dangerous charge—use the proper discharge procedure
• Photograph wiring, transfer leads to the same terminals, and secure the capacitor in its bracket
• If no-heat persists, test the HV diode, transformer, and magnetron

This high-voltage diode assembly is part of the microwave's HV circuit. It converts the transformer's high-voltage AC to DC, enabling the magnetron to generate microwave energy so your unit can heat food properly.

• Rectifies high-voltage AC to DC in the microwave's high-voltage network
• Works with the HV transformer and capacitor to power the magnetron
• Failure may cause "runs but doesn't heat"
• Other possible signs include a loud hum during cook or a blown internal fuse at start-up

• Unplug the microwave; the HV capacitor can hold a dangerous charge—discharge it properly before servicing
• Observe diode polarity/orientation and install in the same direction as the original
• Ensure secure, insulated connections and proper routing away from sharp edges

The Primary and Secondary Door Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. This part interrupts the power supply to the microwave when the door is opened.
