Parts for Ge JES1851BB01: 01 - Microwave Parts

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 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.

A replacement door latch assembly that secures the appliance door and allows the door to lock and unlock properly for normal operation and safety. Restores proper door closure and appliance cycling when the latch is faulty. What it does:

• Engages and holds the door closed so the appliance can operate and complete cycles
• Triggers the appliance's door switch/lock mechanism when closed
• Helps prevent water/heat escape by ensuring a tight door seal during use
• Common symptom: door won't stay closed, won't latch, or appliance won't start/cycle

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access usually requires removing the door or front panel; follow your model's service manual
• Keep screws and small parts organized; test latch operation before reassembling completely

This wire holder is a small retaining clip that secures wiring or harnesses to the appliance chassis to prevent rubbing, strain, and accidental disconnection. It helps keep wiring routed neatly for reliable operation and safer service. What it does:

• Secures a wire or wiring harness to a mounting point to reduce movement and abrasion
• Helps prevent loose or chafed wires that can cause intermittent operation or electrical arcing
• Keeps wiring routed away from hot or moving components
• Restores proper harness placement after service or if the original clip is broken

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing electrical components
• Inspect surrounding wiring and connectors for damage; replace any frayed or exposed wires
• Clip typically installs into the factory mounting location; basic hand tools may be needed

Turntable drive motor.

This circulation fan motor moves cold air through the refrigerator/freezer so the appliance keeps a stable temperature. It replaces a failed motor to restore normal airflow and reduce temperature fluctuations. What it does

• Spins the evaporator/cabinet fan blade to circulate cold air through compartments
• Helps maintain even cooling and consistent temperatures
• Stops or reduces loud humming/vibrating noises when a worn motor is replaced
• Resolves warm spots or slow recovery after door openings when airflow was impaired

• One circulation fan motor assembly

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock
• Remove interior panels or evaporator cover per your model's service instructions
• Handle the fan blade and motor shaft carefully to avoid bending or damage
• Test operation after installation and reassemble panels securely

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.

This rivet assembly is a direct-replacement fastening piece used to secure appliance panels and components, restoring a stable, rattle-free fit and preventing movement caused by worn or broken rivets. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or component mounts to restore proper alignment and support
• Stops rattling, vibration, or loose hardware caused by damaged or missing rivets
• Provides a durable mechanical fastener where original rivets have sheared or loosened
• Helps maintain safe operation by keeping parts properly retained

• Disconnect power (and gas/water if applicable) before attempting any repairs
• Removal may require drilling out the old rivet; installation typically needs a rivet gun or equivalent tool
• Keep hardware orientation the same as the original; replace any damaged surrounding parts

Stirrer motor

The Switch Holder is an OEM component specifically designed for GE microwaves. Located inside the microwave cavity, this holder securely mounts interaction switches, sensors, and buttons.

Causes of a faulty switch holder include cracks or breaks developing from years of normal vibration and use.

Symptoms of a bad switch holder include:

• Switches, sensors, or buttons becoming loose, detached, or misaligned
• The microwave fails to register user input or respond appropriately
• Potential shock or short circuit risks if connections are exposed
• Reduced lifespan of mounted components through excessive movement

This genuine GE part is compatible with models including Profile, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.

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.

The Diode Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It plays a crucial role in converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which is essential for the microwave’s high-voltage functions, including powering the magnetron to generate microwave energy.

Over time, diodes can fail due to electrical surges, excessive heat, or wear and tear. A faulty diode assembly can lead to inefficient or non-functional microwave operation, impacting its ability to heat food properly.

Symptoms of a bad diode assembly include:

• Microwave not heating food
• Sparking or arcing inside the microwave
• Burning smell or unusual noises during operation
• Microwave turning on but failing to generate heat

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