Parts for Ge JVM1631BK01: 01 - Microwave Parts

The Light Bulb is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This bulb illuminates the interior of the microwave during operation, enhancing visibility so you can monitor the cooking process without opening the door. It is designed to withstand the high temperatures and vibrations typically found in microwave ovens.

Over time, the light bulb can burn out or become damaged due to the harsh environment of the microwave. Frequent on and off cycles can also shorten the lifespan of the bulb. Replacing a non-functioning or dim bulb will restore visibility and improve the functionality of your microwave.

Symptoms of a bad light bulb include:

• Dim lighting inside the microwave.
•  Flickering or inconsistent performance.
• Complete lack of light when the microwave is operating.

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

The Grease Filter is an OEM part for GE range hoods and microwaves. It captures grease and other airborne particles generated during cooking, preventing them from accumulating in the appliance and ductwork. This filter helps maintain the efficiency of the exhaust system and reduces the risk of grease fires.

Over time, the filter can become saturated with grease and other residues, reducing its effectiveness and potentially causing odors or airflow issues.

Symptoms of a bad grease filter include:

• Reduced airflow or ventilation performance
• Persistent cooking odors
• Visible grease buildup on the filter
• The filter appearing damaged or worn

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

This temperature-sensitive thermostat helps protect the microwave and nearby components by switching the circuit based on heat. It typically engages the cooling/vent fan or opens the circuit if excessive heat is detected, preventing overheating damage.

• Monitors temperature and changes state around the 70°C/40°C range
• Helps prevent overheating of internal components during heavy cooking
• Can trigger or regulate the vent/cooling fan on over-the-range units
• Common failure signs: vent fan not auto-cycling with cooktop heat, microwave shutting off from heat, or no continuity when tested at room temp and when heated

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Note wire positions; transfer leads one at a time to the new thermostat
• Mount firmly to its bracket or surface for correct heat sensing
• After installation, verify fan operation and monitor for proper cycling

The Door Latch Board is an OEM part for GE microwaves. The latch board controls the door latching mechanism that secures the microwave door closed during operation. It works alongside the door interlock switch to initiate the removal of power to the magnetron when the door is opened, for safety during use. 

Symptoms of a bad latch board include: 

• The door not closing and latching properly  
• The microwave operating with the door open
• Error codes or blinking lights related to the door interlock system
• Issues engaging or disengaging the door-locking mechanism

This replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint and Profile microwaves. 

The Micro Switch is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This part ensures the appliance operates only when the door is securely closed. It controls the electrical circuit, allowing the microwave to start heating food when the door latch engages the switch.

Causes of a bad micro switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, electrical issues, or physical damage from slamming the microwave door.  

Symptoms of a bad micro switch include:

• The microwave not starting or stopping unexpectedly
• The microwave running even with the door open
• Intermittent power issues
• The door not latching or the microwave indicating the door is open

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

The Microwave Monitor Switch is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This part monitors the position of the microwave door, ensuring that the microwave does not operate when the door is open. It acts as a crucial safety feature, preventing the microwave from emitting radiation when the door is not securely closed.

Causes of a bad monitor switch can include general wear and tear, repeated use, or electrical issues.  

Symptoms of a bad monitor switch include:

• Microwave not starting or running intermittently
• Microwave operating with the door open
• Error codes or safety warnings displayed
• Unusual noises or sparking inside the microwave

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

This microswitch senses the microwave door position and controls the safety interlock circuits. Replacing a worn switch restores proper start/stop behavior so the oven only runs when the door is fully closed.

• Detects door open/closed status to enable or disable cooking
• Part of the safety interlock system that stops operation if the door opens mid-cycle
• Replace if the switch fails a continuity check or shows heat or terminal damage

• Disconnect power before service; microwave capacitors can retain a dangerous charge
• Note wire positions and move them to the same terminals on the new switch
• Ensure the door latch cleanly actuates the switch; test operation before reassembly

This power cord holder secures the appliance power cord to the appliance chassis so the cord stays routed and protected during use and transport. Helps prevent the cord from pulling loose or contacting hot or moving parts. What it does:

• Secures the power cord to the appliance frame so the cord stays in place
• Prevents the cord from being pinched, tugged, or contacting hot surfaces
• Helps reduce intermittent power issues caused by a loose or displaced cord
• Simple, durable clip that fits the OEM cord routing point

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing the holder
• Remove access panel or move cord to view the existing retainer location
• Slide or snap the cord into the new holder and fasten in the original mounting position
• If fasteners are present, reuse existing screws or clips; replace only with equivalent hardware

The Turntable Motor is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is responsible for rotating the glass turntable plate during cooking, ensuring food is evenly heated throughout the microwave cavity. 

Symptoms of a bad turntable motor include:

• The turntable not spinning at all or rotating unevenly
• Loud grinding or clicking noises coming from the motor area  
• The turntable plate wobbles excessively during the operation

Causes can be normal wear and tear over time from continuous use, failure of electronic components in the motor, or damage from heavy loads or impact. This GE replacement motor restores even cooking performance.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models. Replace yours today before a minor problem becomes a major repair bill. Continued use without a properly functioning turntable can damage other microwave components.
 

The High Voltage Diode is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It converts the high voltage of the microwave's power supply into a lower voltage suitable for the magnetron. It acts as a one-way valve for electrical current, allowing it to flow in one direction while preventing it from flowing back in the opposite direction.

Symptoms of a faulty high voltage diode include:

• No power or complete loss of power to the microwave
• Inconsistent or inadequate heating performance
• Unusual electrical smells during operation

A bad high voltage diode can occur due to electrical malfunctions, power surges, or excessive heat exposure. If you notice issues such as no power, uneven heating, or unusual electrical smells coming from the microwave, it may be time to replace the old or damaged high voltage diode with this genuine OEM part.

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