Parts for Ge JES633BV01: 01 - Section1 Parts

This microwave thermostat is a temperature-sensitive safety switch that helps protect the unit from overheating. When the preset limit is reached, it interrupts power to the affected circuit to help prevent damage and erratic shutdowns.

• Monitors temperature at its mounting location and opens the circuit if overheating is detected
• Helps protect internal components from excessive heat
• Common symptoms of a failed thermostat include: unit shuts off during cooking, won't start until it cools down, or has no power/no heat due to an open safety
• Replace if the original tests open when it should be closed

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous charge; only qualified persons should service and discharge the capacitor
• Note wire locations before removal and transfer connections firmly to the new thermostat
• Mount the thermostat securely and in the same position to ensure proper temperature sensing

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.

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 wire lead assembly replaces a damaged or worn electrical lead to restore a reliable power connection inside the appliance. It helps re-establish proper electrical flow to the associated component for safe, consistent operation. What it does:

• Carries electrical current between internal terminals and a specific component
• Restores power when a broken or burned lead causes loss of function
• Prevents intermittent contact that can cause erratic operation or failure
• Reduces risk of arcing from damaged wire connections

• Disconnect all power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing
• Verify terminals and connector orientation match the original before connecting
• Use basic hand tools; avoid nicking or stretching the wire during installation

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
