Symptoms include:

• Strong cooking smells recirculating in the kitchen instead of outside
• Reduced ventilation power due to blocked airflow paths
• Potential damage to other internal components from restricted venting

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

The Lower Lever Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. This component activates the door interlock switch when the microwave door is closed. It ensures that the microwave only operates when the door is securely closed, preventing any operational hazards.

Symptoms of a bad Lower Lever Switch include:

• The microwave not starting, indicating the door isn't recognized as closed
• The appliance operating with the door open, a clear safety hazard
• Unusual sounds or issues when attempting to start the microwave
• The need to apply extra pressure to keep the door closed

Common causes for a malfunctioning Lower Lever Switch can be attributed to mechanical wear from frequent use, damage incurred during cleaning or use, or internal issues affecting the switch’s activation mechanism.

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

This damper is the exhaust vent flap for a microwave. It opens to let air flow out while venting and closes when the fan is off to help prevent drafts, moisture, and debris from entering the unit.

Symptoms of a bad assembly include:

• The turntable no longer spins or rotates unevenly
• Excessive noise or grinding sounds coming from beneath the turntable 
• Cracks or breaks in the plastic ring housing

This GE replacement part will restore optimized cooking performance by enabling even heat distribution. It is designed to directly replace the original component. This OEM part is also compatible with some Kenmore microwaves. Maintaining your microwave includes periodic replacement of consumable parts like the turntable ring.
 

This is a turntable motor intended for use with microwave ovens. A turntable motor is required to rotate the turntable so that food is heated evenly. With time, because of misuse, or as a result of accidental damage, the turntable motor may malfunction or fail. To continue using the appliance efficiently, the turntable motor must be replaced.The primary indication that there is something wrong with the turntable motor is a tray that doesn't spin. When replacing the turntable motor, it is essential to disconnect the machine from the power source. Wear gloves for safety. The part can be replaced easily by removing screws from the back and side of the microwave, which allows the panel to swing open. Take the wires of the old motor and reconnect them to the new one.This turntable motor is an authentic OEM replacement part. It is sold as an individual unit. The turntable motor is made of high-quality, durable materials. The component comes sourced directly from the manufacturer. The replacement part can be installed in several models of microwaves. It is compatible with appliances produced by General Electric, RCA, and Hotpoint brand appliances.

This high-voltage rectifier diode is used in the microwave's high-voltage circuit. It converts AC to DC so the magnetron can produce heat. A failed diode can cause no heat, loud humming, or a blown fuse when starting. What it does:

• Rectifies high-voltage AC to DC to power the magnetron
• Blocks reverse voltage in the HV circuit
• Common failure symptoms can include: runs but doesn't heat; loud hum then shutdown; line fuse blows at startup

• 1 high-voltage diode

• Unplug the microwave and properly discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing—dangerous voltage can remain even when unplugged
• Match diode orientation/polarity to the original and ensure a solid chassis ground connection where used
• Route leads and reinstall any clamps/insulators exactly as found; keep wiring clear of sharp edges and hot components
• If the original diode failed, inspect the HV capacitor and transformer for related issues before reassembly

The Door Handle Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It is located on the outside of the door to provide a convenient and safe grip for users to open and close the microwave door securely.
