Customer Questions and Answers for Fuse by Ge

Manufacturer Part Number: WB27X10928

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.

Questions & Answers

For Ge Fuse (Part Number: OEM11982195)

Nyan, the fuse is located just behind the control panel at the base. It can be accessed after turning off the power supply by removing the trim and sliding the appliance out just enough to remove the right-side access panel.

Sam, If the control is lit up then it is not a fuse issue. This would likely be a control or UI issue.

Hallie, based on the information provided, it sounds like the middle door switch WB24X830 has failed and fused shut. This can be tested for continuity when the door is closed and the power supply cord is unplugged. If there is continuity when the door is closed, the switch has failed and would need to be replaced.

Larry, the fuse is going to be located on the top right of the microwave near the front. Accessing it will require the top and side panel to be removed if it can not be viewed from the front.

Rjohnson, there would not be a fuse for the cooktop light. The cooktop light is going to receive voltage directly from the main control WB27X10603. Unfortunately, this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.

Barbara, It would be more likely that the bulbs on the unit have failed rather than a fuse which the unit typically will not have for the lights.

Ron, the fuse WB27X10928 can potentially be the cause and it is accessible from the front after turning off the power supply to the appliance. Once accessed, the fuse can be tested for continuity, and it would also be recommended that the door switches are tested for continuity as these can potentially cause a fuse to fail. The top door switch WB24X830 will have continuity until the plunger is pressed by the door latch. The lower door switches WB24X829 should not have continuity unless the plunger is being pressed by the door latch.

Dee, the main control would need to be tested at the black wire for 120VAC. If there is 120VAC and the control does not show a display, it has failed and would need to be replaced. If there is not 120VAC, the microwave would need to be unplugged and the fuse, bottom TCO WB27X1127, cavity TCO WB27X10810, and magnetron TCO WB27X10166 would need to be tested for continuity. These parts should show as having continuity if they are operating properly.
