Parts for Ge JES1030TP01: 01 - Section1 Parts

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.

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 washered screw secures panels and internal components where a combined screw-and-washer fastener is required, restoring proper fit and stopping movement or rattling. Simple replacement with the correct fastener keeps assemblies aligned and stable. What it does

• Secures panels, brackets or components where a washered screw is specified
• Replaces missing, stripped or corroded fasteners that allow vibration or gaps
• Helps stop rattling, loose panels or misaligned parts caused by a failed screw
• Provides a sealed bearing surface to distribute load and prevent pull-through

• One washered screw

• Disconnect power and/or water to the appliance before starting any repair
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and fastener damage
• Align parts before tightening and snug; avoid over-tightening which can strip threads or crack plastic

This wiring schematic is the factory service diagram used to identify electrical circuits and component connections for troubleshooting and repairs. It helps technicians and DIYers trace wiring paths and proper connections during diagnosis. What it does:

• Shows the appliance's electrical circuits and component wiring layout
• Helps locate connectors, wire colors, and terminal designations for testing
• Aids in diagnosing electrical faults such as no power to a component or intermittent operation
• Useful reference when replacing components or harness connections

• Intended as a reference document only; follow factory instructions and wiring diagrams during repairs
• Turn off power to the appliance before performing any electrical tests or repairs
• Keep the schematic dry and flat to preserve legibility
