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.

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

Azadar for Model Number ZE2160SF04

Yesterday I set my microwave on express (6 min cooking), after 5 minutes, I just opened the door to get the food out. Later I realized microwave oven is powered OFF because there was no light or digital clock on front display/panel. I tried to turn it on by pressing front panel ON/OFF but it won't turn on. I went to circuit breaker and saw it was turned OFF. I turned it back to ON position and came back and reset the clock/time on microwave oven. Now the moment I try to use my microwave oven and close the door it trips the circuit breaker again, I went back to my circuit breaker and turned ON, came back tried to use microwave oven it trips circuit breaker again. Every time I tried it did the same thing. Now my microwave oven is completely shutdown (OFF), no power, no more circuit breaker tripping etc. Can you please tell me what is wrong or what part I need and how it can be installed?

Hello Azadar, You should first check the door switches, WB24X823 two of these and one WB24X10103. These are accessed by removing the air grill and removing the control panel. They are to the left and the door switch holder (lock assembly) should come out after removing the two or three retaining screws.

Alfredo, Unfortunately the primary and secondary switch is different than the monitor switch so the Micro switch substitute will not work for your unit.

Hello Alfredo, This is a bad door switch. As per manufacturers' recommendations, all three switches should be replaced at the same time since they all carry the same current in the same circuit and when one fails, the other two will follow shortly. You will need to order two WB24X823, and one WB24X824.

Hello Jeff. Look on the old switch and by each spade it is labeled NC,NO, or COM. You will install the wires on the new switch in the same configuration.

Hello Eric, I tried with no sucess to pull the parts list on this model so I can only tell you that if the ratings on the side of the new switches are the same or higher than those on the old switches, they will work when wired properly. If the ratings on the new switches are lower than the ones on the old switches, they will not work and could cause a safety hazard.
