Secures the bottom lamp assembly inside your microwave cavity. Replace this bracket if it's cracked, broken, or missing to properly mount the interior light.

This 10-watt halogen lamp restores clear lighting in select microwave models. Replace a burned-out bulb so you can see the cavity or the cooktop below more easily during use and keep visibility as intended. What it does:

• Provides illumination inside the microwave cavity or for the cooktop surface, depending on model
• Restores normal brightness after the original bulb has failed
• Common symptoms include no light, dim or flickering light, or intermittent operation
• Use only the specified wattage and lamp type for your model to ensure proper operation

What's included:

• 1 halogen lamp

Install notes:

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Allow the area and old bulb to cool completely before handling
• Handle the glass capsule with a clean cloth or gloves; oils from skin can shorten bulb life
• Reinstall any lens or cover securely before restoring power

This run capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run smoothly by storing and releasing electrical energy. Replacing a worn capacitor can restore reliable motor operation and reduce abnormal motor noise or cycling. What it does:

• Provides the brief power boost motors need to start and maintain RPM
• Helps stabilize motor voltage and improve run efficiency under load
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as motors that hum but won't start, slow or intermittent motor operation, or unusual motor noise
• Reduces stress on motor windings that can lead to premature failure when functioning properly

• One motor capacitor

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Capacitors can hold a charge; discharge safely
• Observe proper polarity and mounting location during installation; secure wiring and connectors

This thermal fuse is a safety device designed to cut off power to the microwave if internal temperatures exceed safe limits. It is a small, inline fuse typically mounted near the magnetron or cavity. Replace this part if the microwave has completely stopped working with no display or response, especially after an overheating event.

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 is a monitor or interlock switch that detects whether the microwave door is properly closed before allowing the unit to operate. It is a safety device that shuts off microwave power if the door is open or if other door switches malfunction. Replace this switch if the microwave does not start, runs with the door open, or blows a fuse when the door is closed.

The Lower Lever Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. This component activates the door interlock switch when the microwave door is closed. It ensures that the microwave only operates when the door is securely closed, preventing any operational hazards.

Symptoms of a bad Lower Lever Switch include:

• The microwave not starting, indicating the door isn't recognized as closed
• The appliance operating with the door open, a clear safety hazard
• Unusual sounds or issues when attempting to start the microwave
• The need to apply extra pressure to keep the door closed

Common causes for a malfunctioning Lower Lever Switch can be attributed to mechanical wear from frequent use, damage incurred during cleaning or use, or internal issues affecting the switch’s activation mechanism.

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

This stirrer assembly circulates microwave energy inside the cavity so food heats more evenly and prevents cold spots. It replaces a damaged or noisy stirrer that can cause uneven cooking or unusual microwave noise. What it does:

• Spins the microwave stirrer to help distribute microwave energy for more even heating
• Reduces hotspots and cold spots during cooking
• Stops or reduces rattling, grinding, or squealing noises when the original stirrer is worn
• Helps prevent arcing or sparking caused by a cracked or broken stirrer cover

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Access may require removing the microwave's outer cabinet or control panel; follow OEM service manual steps.
• Handle the stirrer and cover carefully—plastic parts can crack if forced.

Secures the stirrer blade in your microwave for even heating. Replace if stirrer rattles or food heats unevenly. Confirm fit with your model number.

The Turntable Coupler is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It connects the microwave's turntable motor to the glass tray, enabling the tray to rotate during cooking. This rotation ensures even heating and cooking of food items placed on the tray.

Causes of a bad turntable coupler can include regular wear and tear, physical damage from heavy or improperly placed items, or overheating due to prolonged use.

Symptoms of a bad turntable coupler include:

• Turntable not rotating
• Uneven heating or cooking of food
• Grinding or clicking noises during operation
• The coupler being visibly damaged or worn

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

Wire saddle secures and organizes internal wiring in your microwave. Replace if the clip is cracked, broken, or missing to properly route and hold wires.

Turntable stopped turning or making grinding noise? This motor rotates the glass plate for even cooking. Easy 5-10 minute DIY fix with basic tools.

Replaces cracked, warped, or damaged upper exhaust duct in your microwave. Directs airflow between vent area and exterior exhaust system for proper ventilation.

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.

Microwave shuts down during use? This thermal cutoff thermostat prevents overheating by interrupting power when temperatures exceed safe limits.

This is a humidity sensor mounted inside the microwave that detects moisture levels in the cooking cavity. It enables auto-cook and auto-reheat functions by signaling the control board when food has released enough steam. Replace this sensor if auto-cook cycles consistently overcook or undercook food, or if the microwave displays a sensor error code.

Cam plate bracket for microwave louver mechanism. Mounts between motor and louver assembly. Replace if cracked, broken, or worn to restore proper operation.
