The Microwave Door Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It is crucial for safety functionality as it detects when the door is properly closed and latched before initiating cooking cycles. The switch prevents operation if the door is ajar.

Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and grime accumulation over many years of use, impact damage, or failures in the plastic actuator or electrical components.

Symptoms of a bad door switch include:

• The microwave failing to start cooking even with the door closed and latched
• Error messages related to the door position being displayed
• Inability to lock or properly sense the closed door position

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

This is a light bu, and it is made for microwaves. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. This specific light bu has a voltage of 120 and a wattage of 25.A new light bu might be needed if the current one does not turn on when the microwave door is opened. The light bu should also be on when the microwave is in use so that the user may see the food during the heating cycle. It is common for light bu to burn out over time and they are very easy to replace when needed.This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually and is compatible with microwaves made by General Electric.

This microwave magnetron thermostat is an authentic OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is used in microwave ovens to prevent fires and extensive damage to the machine if the magnetron overheats. If the thermostat reaches an unsafe temperature, determined by the factory, it will stop the microwave from cooking. If this happens, the magnetron thermostat may be the culprit and should be replaced. A built-in safety feature will prevent the microwave from working until the thermostat is replaced. To start, disconnect the power from the microwave. Use a screwdriver to remove the trim kit. Use a safety drill bit to remove the microwave panels. Locate the thermostat that is connected to the magnetron. To start, disconnect the wires and remove the thermometer from the microwave. Install the new thermostat and connect the wires. Reassemble the microwave and reconnect the power. Test to make sure the power works with the new thermostat installed.This magnetron thermometer is an electrical part that is sold individually. It is designed for use in microwave ovens manufactured by General Electric and Hotpoint.

This coupler connects two rotating shafts to transfer motor power to the driven assembly, restoring proper rotation and drive function. It's a direct-fit replacement that helps resolve drive interruptions and mechanical noise caused by a failed coupler. What it does:

• Joins the motor shaft to the driven shaft or gear assembly to transmit torque
• Restores rotation when a worn or broken coupler prevents the appliance from turning
• Reduces slipping and eliminates clunking or grinding noises caused by a damaged coupling
• Keeps shafts aligned to prevent premature wear of connected components

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock or injury
• Inspect mating shafts and fasteners for damage; replace damaged parts as needed
• Use basic hand tools; secure coupler per OEM torque/fastening recommendations

This high-voltage transformer supplies the elevated voltage needed for a microwave oven's magnetron so the appliance can heat food reliably. Replaces a failing transformer to restore microwave heating performance. What it does:

• Converts incoming mains voltage to the high voltage required by the magnetron.
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as no heat, intermittent heating, loud humming from the oven, or blown fuses.
• Can fail from insulation breakdown, winding damage, or moisture/age-related wear.
• Works with the oven's high-voltage circuit; a damaged transformer prevents normal heating.

• Disconnect power at the breaker and unplug the appliance before any service.
• High-voltage components can retain a dangerous charge—discharge the capacitor and use insulated tools.
• Follow OEM wiring orientation and secure mounting hardware; verify all connections before restoring power.

This high-voltage diode assembly replaces the diode in a microwave high-voltage circuit to help restore normal heating and high-voltage operation. It provides the one-way conduction needed for the magnetron's high-voltage supply. What it does:

• Converts AC to DC in the microwave high-voltage circuit so the magnetron can produce microwaves
• Commonly associated with weak/no heating or intermittent heating
• Can cause blown high-voltage fuses or arcing if failed
• Prevents reverse current from damaging other high-voltage components

• Disconnect power and discharge the high-voltage capacitor before service to avoid serious shock
• Handle carefully; high-voltage components and terminals can retain charge
• Check related high-voltage components (capacitor, transformer, fuse) for damage when diagnosing

The Primary and Secondary Door Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. This part interrupts the power supply to the microwave when the door is opened.   

Causes of bad door switches can include regular wear and tear, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage from slamming the door.  

Symptoms of a bad Primary and Secondary Door Switch include:

• The microwave not starting or operating intermittently
• The appliance operating with the door open
• The interior light not turning on or off appropriately

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

Color: clear. Measures about 13 inches in diameter.

The Interlock Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It acts as a safety device that prevents the microwave from operating unless the door is securely closed and latched. The switch monitors the door position and communicates with the main control board to allow or cancel cooking functions.

Causes of failure may include damage from excess heat over time or wear from repeated door openings and closings. Failures can compromise safety if the microwave operates unexpectedly while open.

Symptoms of a bad interlock switch include:

• Microwave can be turned on even when the door is open     
• Error codes displayed related to door issues  
• Inconsistent or faulty communication with the control board

This genuine OEM replacement part is also compatible with GE, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore microwave models.

This wave guide cover protects the microwave's waveguide opening and helps keep food particles, grease and debris away from the magnetron and waveguide channel. Replacing a damaged cover helps prevent arcing and maintains even cooking. What it does:

• Shields the waveguide opening to protect the magnetron and internal components from contamination
• Prevents food splatter and grease from entering the waveguide channel
• Helps reduce arcing, sparking or burning noises caused by a cracked or charred cover
• Contributes to more consistent microwave heating when intact and properly installed

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before any service to avoid electrical shock
• Handle the cover carefully—replace if cracked, warped, burned or covered in heavy residue
• Keep mounting screws and any retaining clips; use only OEM-specified fasteners for reinstallation
• Do not operate the microwave with foil or metal tape covering the waveguide; replace the cover if it cannot be secured properly

This bag screw assembly secures and advances the collection bag so the appliance can contain and compact debris reliably. Replacing a damaged screw assembly restores proper bag positioning and smooth bag feed. What it does:

• Holds and guides the bag in the collection/compaction area so the bag stays in place during operation
• Replaces worn, stripped, or broken screw hardware that can cause the bag to slip or not advance
• Helps prevent bag bunching and improves consistent compaction and containment
• Works as the mechanical fastening/drive interface between the bag and the compactor/feed mechanism

• One bag screw assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work to avoid injury
• Access typically requires removing the access panel or compactor drawer; follow the appliance service manual for disassembly steps
• Inspect surrounding components (brackets, guides, fasteners) and replace any damaged parts to ensure proper fit
