Parts for HMV1630HBSA: Microwave Parts

This electronic oven control board manages the oven's temperature, bake/broil cycles and user controls so the range operates and responds correctly. Replace a failed control board to restore normal oven functions and display responsiveness. What it does:

• Regulates oven heating cycles and timing for bake, broil and self-clean functions
• Interfaces with the front control panel for button/keypad and display inputs
• Communicates with temperature sensors and relays to maintain set temperatures
• Common symptom fix: unresponsive controls, error codes, or oven not heating

• Disconnect power at the breaker before attempting service to avoid shock
• Handle the board by edges and avoid static discharge; use an anti-static wrist strap if available
• Access usually requires removing the back panel or control console; keep track of fasteners and wire locations
• Only install if you can identify this board as the failed component

This Wave guide cover protects the microwave's interior waveguide opening from food splatter and debris, helping preserve performance and reduce the risk of arcing or burned spots on the cavity wall. What it does:

• Covers and shields the waveguide opening to keep grease and food particles out of the microwave's wave path.
• Helps reduce arcing or sparking caused by food buildup on the waveguide.
• Prevents direct contamination of internal components that can cause odors or smoke.
• Maintains a smooth interior surface for more consistent heating performance.

• Disconnect power and unplug the microwave before servicing.
• Remove the old cover carefully; it may be held by clips or a single screw—retain hardware for reinstallation.
• Avoid using metal tools that could scratch or damage the cover or surrounding cavity.

This replacement mounting plate secures internal assemblies to the appliance chassis, restoring stable support and alignment. It helps reduce movement and prevents loose or misaligned components for safer, quieter operation. What it does:

• Anchors and supports internal assemblies or housings to the appliance frame.
• Keeps parts aligned to maintain proper fit and operation.
• Helps reduce vibration, rattling, and shifting of mounted components.
• Use when the original plate is bent, cracked, or missing and causes loose mounting or misalignment.

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair.
• Wear gloves and eye protection; the plate and surrounding areas can have sharp edges.
• Retain or reuse original mounting hardware unless replacements are specified elsewhere.
• Follow the appliance's service manual for removal, orientation, and torque specifications.

The Charcoal Filter is an OEM part for GE microwave ovens. This component is crucial for absorbing odors and filtering out grease and other contaminants from the air circulated by the microwave's exhaust system. By maintaining a cleaner airflow, the charcoal filter ensures that your microwave remains efficient and free from odors that can affect the taste and smell of your food. The filter measures about 10 inches wide by 2-1/2 inches high.

Causes of a bad charcoal filter include saturation with grease or odors over time, which reduces its efficacy. Additionally, accidental damage or prolonged use without replacement can impair its ability to filter air effectively.

Symptoms of a bad charcoal filter include:

• Persistent odors even after cooking has completed
• Visible grease buildup on the filter
•  Reduced efficiency in air recirculation

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