Gmh5205xvb-0 Parts

This magnetron is the microwave's high-voltage tube that generates the microwaves used to heat food. Replacing a faulty magnetron restores heating performance and stops power-related cooking failures. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage electrical energy into microwave radiation that heats food
• Common symptom: microwave runs but does not heat
• Also be needed if you notice humming, arcing, or a burning electrical smell during operation
• Works with the oven's high-voltage system and waveguide to deliver cooking power

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwave high-voltage components can retain lethal charge
• Discharge the high-voltage capacitor and follow safety procedures
• Inspect waveguide cover and surrounding components for damage when replacing the magnetron

This lamp cover is the replacement lens that protects and diffuses your oven's interior light, restoring even illumination while keeping the bulb shielded from heat and food residue. It helps maintain safe, usable oven lighting. What it does:

• Protects the oven light bulb from splashes, crumbs and direct contact.
• Diffuses the bulb for more even interior illumination.
• Replaces a cracked, cloudy, melted or missing lens that can cause dim or exposed lighting.
• Fits over the lamp housing to restore the oven's normal light appearance and function.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting and allow the oven to cool completely.
• Handle the cover carefully—wear gloves to protect from sharp edges or broken glass.
• Remove any retaining screws or clips, swap the old cover for the new one, then secure the retainer.
• After installation, restore power and replace the bulb if issues persist.

This molded wire support clip secures wiring and small harnesses to the appliance cabinet or components to prevent rubbing, pinching, or contact with moving/heat-producing parts. It helps reduce chafing and electrical wear for safer, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Holds wiring harnesses and individual wires in place to prevent contact with sharp edges, motors, or heating elements
• Minimizes wire movement and vibration that can lead to chafing or broken conductors
• Helps maintain proper routing for consistent connections and component performance
• Commonly used where a small push-fit retainer is needed to secure low-voltage or signal wires

• One wire support clip as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Push-fit installation: align clip over wire/harness and press into the mating hole or slot until it snaps in place; clip may require slight flexing
• Inspect surrounding wiring and routing for damage; replace any frayed or exposed wires before reassembly
• If the mounting hole or panel is damaged, use the correct replacement panel or a suitable repair to ensure a secure fit

This piston assembly restores the moving piston used in the appliance's fluid/valve system to help recover proper dispensing and motion. It replaces a worn or damaged piston so the affected function can operate as intended. What it does:

• Replaces the piston that moves inside a valve or dispenser to control fluid or airflow
• Restores proper actuation and sealing that can prevent drips or improper dispensing
• Commonly installed when symptoms include poor dispensing, leaks near the valve area, sticking motion, or unusual noises during operation
• Works as a direct-fit replacement where this OEM piston assembly is specified

• One piston assembly as shown

• Disconnect power (and water supply or gas, if applicable) before starting any repair
• Follow the appliance service manual and use appropriate tools; keep small fasteners and seals organized
• Inspect sealing surfaces and O-rings; replace damaged seals to ensure a leak-free install
• Test the appliance after installation to confirm correct operation

This thermistor is a refrigerator temperature sensor that monitors internal air temperature so the control board can regulate cooling. Replaces a failed sensor to help restore accurate temperature readings and more consistent cooling. What it does:

• Senses internal refrigerator temperature and sends a variable resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the control system cycle the compressor and fans correctly for stable temperatures
• Commonly replaced when refrigerator runs too cold, too warm, or has irregular cooling cycles
• Can address temperature-error codes or defrost control issues when the sensor is faulty

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the sensor
• Handle the sensor and wiring harness carefully to avoid damage to the probe or connectors
• Install in the original sensor mounting location and secure wiring away from moving parts

This base is the appliance's lower cabinet section that supports internal components and helps stabilize the unit. It restores a solid foundation so the appliance sits level and protects internal parts from floor contact and debris. What it does:

• Provides structural support for the appliance's internal assemblies and controls
• Helps stabilize the unit and reduce excessive vibration or rocking
• Protects wiring, motors and other components from contact with the floor
• A damaged or cracked base can cause noisy operation, misalignment, or uneven sitting

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Follow the OEM service manual for disassembly and reassembly steps
• Replacement may require removing the cabinet and/or drum; having a second person helps with lifting and alignment
• Inspect and reuse original fasteners only if undamaged; replace any worn mounting hardware

This fixed thermostat senses temperature and opens or closes the electrical circuit to control heating. It replaces a failed temperature-sensing switch to restore proper heating control and safety. What it does:

• Monitors appliance temperature and interrupts power when the set limit is reached
• Prevents overheating by opening the circuit at high temperatures
• Restores normal heating control when a failed thermostat causes no heat or continuous heating
• Works as a safety/limit device in the appliance's heating system

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the thermostat and sensing element gently; avoid bending or stressing terminals
• Refer to the appliance service manual or OEM instructions for proper placement and mounting
