The Microwave Door Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It is crucial for safety functionality as it detects when the door is properly closed and latched before initiating cooking cycles. The switch prevents operation if the door is ajar.

Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and grime accumulation over many years of use, impact damage, or failures in the plastic actuator or electrical components.

Symptoms of a bad door switch include:

  • The microwave failing to start cooking even with the door closed and latched
  • Error messages related to the door position being displayed
  • Inability to lock or properly sense the closed door position

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

Questions & Answers

For Ge Micro Switch-Substitute (Part Number: OEM9558171)

Diy-Er for Model Number JES1142WD03

Is the WB24X10103 Micro Switch-Substitute TRULY a substitute for the much higher priced Primary Interlock Switch (WB24X823) on my model? I can activate my MW Oven by pushing in slightly on the door release latch. With the case open I can see the WB24X823 flashing slightly as I press the release and I suspect the switch has gone bad. With this part being so expensive, it's simply cheaper to replace the whole unit. But, if the WB24X10103 is a true substitute, I would prefer to repair it. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Jehill. First disconnect the power to the unit. You will need to remove the outer cover to change the fuse. Hope this helps.
