Parts for Ge JES1334WD02: 01 - Microwave Parts

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.

This microwave high-voltage capacitor stores and releases energy in the high-voltage circuit to power the magnetron. Replacing a failed capacitor helps restore proper heating and protects other components in the high-voltage system.

• Works with the transformer and high-voltage diode to supply the magnetron with the required voltage
• Failure may result in the unit running but not heating
• Shorted capacitors can blow the internal fuse or trip a breaker; opens may cause loud humming or buzzing
• Visible swelling or leakage on the capacitor body are common failure signs

• Unplug the microwave; capacitors can retain a dangerous charge even when unplugged—discharge using an appropriate, insulated method before servicing
• Note wire positions and terminal orientation; transfer any mounting hardware from the original part
• Mount securely and route wires to avoid pinching

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.

This turntable motor rotates the microwave's glass tray during cooking. Replacing a worn or seized motor restores smooth, consistent tray movement to help ensure even heating and reliable performance.

• Drives the turntable shaft/coupler to rotate the glass tray during cook cycles
• Helps promote more even cooking and defrosting
• Common symptoms of failure: tray doesn't turn, intermittent or jerky rotation, loud humming/grinding from beneath the cavity

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage components—use caution
• Access is typically from the bottom of the unit; remove the tray and coupler, then the motor's mounting screws, and transfer the wire connections
• Align the motor shaft with the coupler and ensure the tray spins freely before reassembly
• Test with a microwave-safe cup of water to ensure smooth rotation
