Customer Questions and Answers for Black Door by Ge

The Black Door is an OEM part for GE microwaves. As the main barrier between the microwave cavity and exterior, the door is subject to constant exposure and wear. 

Causes for a bad door can include dents, scratches or other surface damage accumulated over time and use. The door seal may deteriorate, failing to provide an adequate barrier between the radiation and the exterior. Hinges or latches may become loose or fail to function properly.

Symptoms of a bad door include:

• Inability to securely close or latch the door 
• Leaks of light or steam from the door seams
• Faulty seals that no longer prevent radiation escape
• Loose or improperly functioning hinges
• Physical damage impairing aesthetic appearance

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