The Switch Monitor Interlock is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. This safety component ensures that the microwave operates only when the door is securely closed. It prevents the microwave from running if the door is open, providing a critical safety feature to protect users from exposure to microwave radiation.

Causes of a bad switch monitor interlock can include wear and tear over time, mechanical damage from frequent door opening and closing, or electrical malfunctions that impact its performance.

Symptoms of a bad Switch Monitor Interlock include:

• The microwave not starting or operating intermittently
• The microwave running with the door open
• Error messages or safety warnings displayed on the control panel
• Unusual clicking or buzzing noises when the microwave door is opened or closed

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

The Door Interlock Switch is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It ensures the safety of the microwave by preventing the appliance from operating while the door is open. This switch is part of a microwave's safety mechanism, which includes multiple interlock systems designed to stop the generation of microwaves immediately once the door is opened, thereby protecting users from exposure to microwave radiation.

Signs that it's time to replace your door interlock switch include the microwave not starting or stopping unexpectedly, the microwave continuing to operate with the door open, or a failure to heat food even though the appliance seems to be running. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Interlock Switch include:

• Microwave does not start
• Microwave stops unexpectedly
• The microwave operates with the door open
• Microwave turns on but does not heat food

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.

The Magnetron is an OEM component specifically designed for GE microwaves. The magnetron is responsible for generating microwave radiation that cooks food by utilizing electromagnetic energy. It works by accelerating electrons within a vacuum tube using a magnet to generate microwave emissions. 

Causes of a bad magnetron can include overuse, excessive cooking times, damage from arcing due to sparks, or general wear and tear over time. 

Symptoms of a bad magnetron include:

• Inefficient or inconsistent cooking and heating 
• Longer cook times required 
• Food not cooking thoroughly or remaining cold in spots
• The microwave making buzzing or humming noises during use

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

The Capacitor High Voltage is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It stores and releases high voltage electrical energy to power the magnetron, which generates the microwaves for cooking.

Over time, capacitors can deteriorate due to prolonged exposure to high voltage, excessive heat, or electrical surges. A malfunctioning capacitor can lead to inefficient cooking or complete failure of the microwave.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• The microwave not heating food properly
• A loud humming or buzzing noise during operation
• The microwave shutting down unexpectedly
• Visible damage or leakage from the capacitor

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