Parts for Ge JES82TW02: 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 Monitor Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwave ovens. Located internally on the turntable control circuit board, this switch monitors rotation of the turntable during cooking cycles.  

Causes of failure involve degradation of the electrical contacts from continuous arcing loads over years of use combined with vibration stresses.

Symptoms of a faulty monitor switch include:

• The turntable no longer rotates or spinning intermittently
• Cooking cycles aborting prematurely with error messages 
• Screeching or grinding noises emanating from beneath cavity
• Visible burnt spots on turntable drive assembly

This genuine GE switch is also compatible with select Hotpoint and RCA models.

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. 

This replacement temperature probe senses oven cavity temperature and helps the control board maintain accurate bake and broil cycles for consistent cooking results. It restores reliable temperature feedback for range/oven operation. What it does:

• Measures internal oven temperature and sends the signal to the control board
• Helps correct symptoms like incorrect oven temps, uneven baking, or oven taking too long to reach set temperature
• Works as the sensor used during bake, broil and self-clean cycles where applicable
• Replaces a damaged, broken or intermittently reading probe to restore oven temperature control

• One temperature probe (sensor) as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or replacing the probe
• Handle the probe and sensor wire carefully to avoid kinking or damaging the sensing tip
• Verify connector seating to the control harness; match connector orientation before installing
