Parts for Ge JE520BW005: 01 - Microwave Parts

This 250V 15A safety fuse protects the appliance's line circuit from overcurrent. When the original fuse has blown, replacing it can restore power and help safeguard internal components from further damage.

• Opens the circuit if excessive current or a short occurs, protecting internal parts
• Common symptom: unit completely dead—no display, lights, or response to controls
• Blown fuse will test open (no continuity) with a multimeter
• If a new fuse blows again, another component may be shorted and needs diagnosis

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; microwaves can retain a dangerous charge—discharge the high-voltage capacitor
• Access the fuse near the line filter/control area; note clip orientation
• Replace only with the same 250V 15A rating; never bypass or upsize the fuse
• If the replacement fuse blows immediately, stop and troubleshoot the root cause

This HVC bracket is a small mounting support that secures the HVC assembly and related components in place, restoring stable alignment and preventing vibration or misrouting of ducting and wiring. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to match the original mounting points. What it does:

• Supports and secures the HVC assembly to the appliance frame
• Keeps ducts, wires, or vents properly aligned to prevent rubbing or pinching
• Reduces rattling and vibration from loose or shifted components
• Helps restore correct airflow routing and component positioning

• One HVC bracket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access may require removing exterior panels or the control housing; keep fasteners organized
• Use common hand tools (screwdriver, nut driver) and avoid overtightening mounting fasteners
• Watch for sharp sheet-metal edges and work with gloves as needed

The High Voltage Diode is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This high-voltage diode is crucial for converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), enabling the magnetron to generate the microwave energy needed for cooking. Measuring approximately 3-1/2" in length, this diode features a banded side with a #8 ring terminal and a non-banded side with a 1/4" female quick connect.

You should replace the diode-H.V assembly if it becomes faulty due to electrical issues, wear and tear, or physical damage. Continuous exposure to high voltage can cause the diode to deteriorate over time, leading to malfunction.

Symptoms of a bad diode-H.V assembly include:

• The microwave not heating food
• A burning smell or unusual noises during operation
• The microwave shutting off unexpectedly
• Visible damage or burn marks on the diode

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

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. 

The Monitor Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwave ovens. Located internally on the turntable control circuit board, this switch monitors rotation of the turntable during cooking cycles.  

Causes of failure involve degradation of the electrical contacts from continuous arcing loads over years of use combined with vibration stresses.

Symptoms of a faulty monitor switch include:

• The turntable no longer rotates or spinning intermittently
• Cooking cycles aborting prematurely with error messages 
• Screeching or grinding noises emanating from beneath cavity
• Visible burnt spots on turntable drive assembly

This genuine GE switch is also compatible with select Hotpoint and RCA models.

Round glass microwave tray, 10 7/8 inches in diameter.

This door film is the outer overlay used to restore the finished surface of the appliance door and improve appearance after scratches, peeling, or wear. It provides a clean, uniform look without replacing the whole door. What it does:

• Covers worn, scratched, or peeling door finish to restore a uniform appearance
• Acts as the replaceable outer surface for cosmetic repairs
• Helps prevent further cosmetic deterioration of the door exterior
• Matches the original part's fit and shape for a flush finish when installed correctly

• One outer door film

• Clean and dry the door surface thoroughly before installation to ensure proper adhesion and fit
• Align the film carefully before final placement; repositioning can damage the adhesive or film
• Use only manufacturer-recommended tools and methods
