Parts for Ge JEM31SA01: 01 - Section1 Parts

This side cap is a small trim piece that covers and protects the appliance's exposed side edge or hardware, restoring a finished appearance and preventing debris buildup or snagging. It fits where the original side trim cap was installed. What it does

• Covers exposed side edges or mounting hardware to improve appearance
• Helps keep dirt and moisture out of crevices along the appliance side
• Prevents sharp edges from catching clothing or causing minor snags
• Common symptom: cracked, broken, loose, or missing side trim cap

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before servicing when applicable.
• Typically snaps or slides into place; gentle pressure may be required to seat the clip features.
• Inspect surrounding trim and mounting points for damage before installation.
• Use non-marring tools as needed; do not force the part into position.

This lamp holder is the socket that secures and powers a refrigerator interior light bulb, restoring reliable illumination so you can see contents clearly. It supports standard refrigerator light bulbs and mounts in the cabinet interior. What it does:

• Holds the interior light bulb and provides the electrical connection for the refrigerator lamp
• Replaces a cracked, melted, or loose socket that prevents the light from turning on
• Stops intermittent lighting or flickering caused by a damaged holder or poor contact
• Restores a secure fit so bulbs stay seated and do not rattle

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any replacement
• Handle bulbs and sockets carefully; avoid contact with energized circuits
• Verify correct bulb type and wattage for your appliance before installing

The Magnetron is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is the component responsible for generating the microwave energy that cooks food. The magnetron converts electrical energy into microwave radiation, which heats and cooks the food evenly.

Over time, the magnetron can fail due to wear and tear, electrical issues, or overheating. Causes of a bad magnetron include electrical surges, prolonged usage without proper cooling, or physical damage from impacts or mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad magnetron include:

• The microwave not heating food
• Unusual buzzing or humming noises
• Burning smell during operation
• The microwave shutting off abruptly or not starting

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

The Capacitor is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This component stores and releases electrical energy to help power the microwave's high-voltage circuits, essential for the proper functioning of the appliance.

Over time, capacitors can fail due to electrical surges, overheating, or degradation of the internal components. When a capacitor goes bad, it can affect the microwave's ability to generate heat and operate efficiently.

Symptoms of a bad Capacitor include:

• The microwave not heating food
• Unusual humming or buzzing noises
• The microwave shutting down or not starting

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

This high-voltage rectifier diode is used in the microwave's high-voltage circuit. It converts AC to DC so the magnetron can produce heat. A failed diode can cause no heat, loud humming, or a blown fuse when starting. What it does:

• Rectifies high-voltage AC to DC to power the magnetron
• Blocks reverse voltage in the HV circuit
• Common failure symptoms can include: runs but doesn't heat; loud hum then shutdown; line fuse blows at startup

• 1 high-voltage diode

• Unplug the microwave and properly discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing—dangerous voltage can remain even when unplugged
• Match diode orientation/polarity to the original and ensure a solid chassis ground connection where used
• Route leads and reinstall any clamps/insulators exactly as found; keep wiring clear of sharp edges and hot components
• If the original diode failed, inspect the HV capacitor and transformer for related issues before 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 gas flame sensor detects whether a burner's flame is present so the range/oven's gas valve and ignition control can operate safely. It helps restore reliable ignition and prevents the valve from staying open when no flame is detected. What it does:

• Senses the presence of a gas flame and signals the control to keep the valve open
• Helps prevent gas flow if a flame is not detected
• Can stop ignition or cause the oven/range not to heat when failing
• Commonly replaced when burners won't stay lit or control shows ignition-related errors

• One gas flame sensor

• Turn off electrical power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Handle the sensor and its connector carefully to avoid damage
• Reinstall in the exact position and orientation; loose connections can cause false faults

Ceramic

A small keyed retaining spring that secures and tensions moving components to restore proper engagement and alignment. Replaces a worn or missing spring to help stop loose parts and intermittent engagement. What it does:

• Holds keyed components or shafts in place to maintain proper alignment and operation
• Provides tension for reliable engagement of latches or moving parts
• Helps eliminate play, rattling, or intermittent contact caused by a broken or missing spring
• Used where a compact, keyed retaining spring is required for secure fit

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Verify correct orientation and seating of the keyed end before tightening or reassembling
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing parts—if it won't seat easily, recheck alignment

This inner door mesh is the replaceable metal mesh panel that fits inside the appliance door to restore the door's finished appearance and proper paneling. Replacing a damaged screen helps maintain the door's original look and function. What it does

• Replaces a torn, bent, or missing inner door mesh to restore a finished interior appearance.
• Covers the door opening to help keep internal components and cavity areas protected from large debris.
• Eliminates rattling or loose panel noise caused by a damaged or loose screen.
• Helps maintain the original fit of the door assembly and trim where the mesh mounts.

• One inner door screen

• Installation typically requires removing the door panel or inner trim; refer to your model's service manual for procedure.
• Handle edges carefully—metal mesh can have sharp edges; wear gloves and eye protection.
• Verify correct orientation and seating before reassembling to avoid pinching or misalignment.
• If you find additional damaged door parts during install, replace those items separately; this listing is for the screen only.
