Microwave Parts

Color: White

The Microwave Lever is an OEM part for GE built-in and over-the-range microwaves. This metal lever links to the door handle and activates the door switch when the handle is pulled open.

Causes of a bad lever can include wear from daily use over many years. Repeated opening and closing of the microwave door puts stress on the lever and surrounding components. 

Symptoms of a bad lever include:

• Power not disabling when door opened  
• Loose or improper connection to door handle
• Door not shutting or latching completely
• Delayed microwave engagement or shut-off

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

Microwave won't power on after overheating? This thermal cutoff thermostat prevents damage by shutting down at unsafe temperatures. DIY repair.

Microwave not heating but runs normally? A failed magnetron is the likely cause. This repair restores heating function. Moderate DIY difficulty.

Microwave won't heat or makes humming noise? This capacitor works with the magnetron to generate heat. Moderate difficulty repair, 30-45 minutes.

Thermistor is a temperature-sensing replacement that monitors refrigerator and freezer temperatures so the control board can regulate cooling. Replacing a faulty thermistor restores accurate temperature readings and helps stabilize cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses interior/evaporator temperature and sends a signal to the control board for temperature regulation.
• Helps prevent erratic cooling, long run-times, or inconsistent compartment temperatures when operating correctly.
• Faulty thermistors can contribute to excessive frost, failed defrost cycles, or compressor cycling issues.
• Use when the existing sensor fails to report correct temperatures or the part number matches.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or damage.
• The sensor is typically mounted on or near the evaporator or inside a cabinet wall; access may require removing panels or covers.
• Handle the sensor and wiring harness gently; avoid pulling on wires or bending the sensor element.

Plastic spacer that positions and secures the microwave door frame assembly. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore proper door alignment.

Replacement thermostat that senses and controls the appliance heating system to restore accurate heating and stable temperature cycles, helping the appliance reach and maintain the set temperature. What it does:

• Senses temperature and signals the heating element or valve to turn on/off to maintain set temperature.
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as failure to reach set temperature, temperature fluctuating or cycling erratically, or continuous heating.
• Works as the temperature-regulation component in the appliance's control pathway to stabilize performance.
• Matches the OEM function for temperature control; use when thermostat diagnostics indicate a failed or inaccurate sensor.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting removal or installation to avoid shock or ignition hazards.
• Handle the sensing element and terminals carefully to avoid damage; ensure secure electrical connections and proper routing of any capillary or sensor lead.
• After installation, test the appliance through a full heat cycle to confirm correct operation.

This micro switch is a small electromechanical door/control switch that restores reliable on/off signaling for your appliance. Replacing a failed switch helps restore normal operation and safety interlocks. What it does:

• Opens or closes an electrical circuit when actuated, enabling controls or motors to run
• Commonly used in door and safety interlock applications to prevent operation when open
• Can stop intermittent power or control-response problems caused by a worn switch
• Helps resolve symptoms like appliance not starting, controls not responding, or cycling unexpectedly

• One micro switch

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance or flip the breaker) before servicing
• Observe sharp edges and wear protective gloves; remove access panels as needed
• Verify correct switch orientation and actuator engagement before reassembly
• Test continuity with a multimeter after installation to ensure proper operation

Microwave not heating? A failed high voltage transformer disrupts the voltage supply needed for heating. This repair requires electrical knowledge.

Microwave not heating? This high-voltage capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to power the magnetron for heat production. DIY fix.

Fix a microwave with no power. This thermal cutoff cavity (TCO) safety device prevents overheating by cutting power when temps exceed safe limits.

This flat metal tray is a replacement nonstick oven tray that gives you a flat cooking or drip surface for baking and roasting. It restores a level surface for pans and helps contain spills for easier cleanup. What it does:

• Provides a flat, rigid surface for baking, roasting, or catching drips beneath racks
• Restores proper fit when original tray is bent, warped, or missing
• Helps reduce food contact with oven floor and collects spills to prevent messes
• Nonstick finish eases cleanup when coating remains intact

• Install on the oven rack or support as shown in your owner's manual; ensure it sits flat before heating
• Allow tray to cool before handling to avoid burns
• Do not use abrasive pads or metal utensils on the nonstick surface to avoid damaging the coating
• Inspect coating for chips or flaking; replace if coating is compromised to avoid contamination

A replacement tension spring used to restore normal movement and positioning for the affected appliance component. Replaces a worn or broken spring to help parts return to their intended position and reduce loose or uneven operation. What it does:

• Provides tension or counter-force for a door, drawer or linkage so the part moves smoothly and returns to position.
• Restores alignment and prevents sagging, slamming, or parts that don't stay in place.
• Reduces noise and uneven movement caused by a stretched or broken spring.
• Useful when a worn spring causes intermittent operation or poor component response.

• Disconnect power and water before servicing. Wear eye protection and gloves — springs can release suddenly.
• Inspect mounting points, clips and anchors; replace any damaged hardware to ensure proper function.
• Use appropriate tools (needle-nose pliers, spring hook) and follow OEM instructions for safe installation.

Replacement mounting screw secures panels, trim, and components in microwaves. Needed when original screws are stripped, missing, or lost during repairs.

Access panel cover that protects internal microwave components. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing to restore finished appearance and prevent dust entry.
