Microwave Power Strike Small Engine Regular Starter Parts

The Transformer is an OEM component specifically designed for GE microwaves. It acts as the essential electrical converter that receives normal household current and steps it up into the precisely controlled high voltage needed to power the magnetron tube. During use, the transformer transmits regulated H.V. output to ignite the magnetron and generate safe microwave energy for cooking.

Causes of a bad transformer include wear from long-term heat cycling strains and potential pinhole leaks developing over many years of service. 

Symptoms of a bad transformer include:

• Magnetron failing to ignite or running intermittently
• Portions of foods not heating thoroughly on lower power levels  
• Electrical buzzing or burning smells detected
• Microwave slowly losing full power ability over time

This OEM GE replacement is compatible with Hotpoint, RCA and select Kenmore microwave models as well.

This door key is the small keyed actuator used to engage or release a door latch assembly. It restores proper door latch operation so the appliance door will stay closed and latch securely during use. What it does:

• Replaces a worn or broken door key that won't engage the door latch
• Restores the mechanical interface between the door and the latch assembly
• Helps resolve symptoms such as a door that won't stay latched or won't fully engage
• Small, user-replaceable component that mounts to the door/latch area

• Turn off power to the appliance and disconnect power before servicing
• Remove door trim or access panel as needed to reach the key; keep fasteners organized
• Install by aligning and securing the key to the latch per OEM orientation; test latch operation before reassembling

This replacement transformer provides the correct low-voltage power feed that control boards and other electrical circuits need to operate reliably. Replaces a worn or failed transformer to restore control power and normal appliance operation. What it does

• Steps down incoming line voltage to the lower voltage required by the appliance control circuits.
• Supplies stable power to the control board, relays, and sensors so features respond correctly.
• Common symptom: control panel is unresponsive or appliance does not start while main power is present.
• Common symptom: intermittent operation or controls cycling on and off.

• One replacement transformer (single unit)

• Disconnect all power to the appliance before beginning work to avoid shock.
• Handle wiring and terminals carefully; secure all connections and mount the transformer per the original orientation.
