The Door Interlock Switch is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It ensures the safety of the microwave by preventing the appliance from operating while the door is open. This switch is part of a microwave's safety mechanism, which includes multiple interlock systems designed to stop the generation of microwaves immediately once the door is opened, thereby protecting users from exposure to microwave radiation.

Signs that it's time to replace your door interlock switch include the microwave not starting or stopping unexpectedly, the microwave continuing to operate with the door open, or a failure to heat food even though the appliance seems to be running. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Interlock Switch include:

• Microwave does not start
• Microwave stops unexpectedly
• The microwave operates with the door open
• Microwave turns on but does not heat food

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Fuse is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It serves as a safety device designed to protect the microwave from excessive current that can cause overheating and potential fire hazards. When the current flowing through the microwave circuit exceeds a certain level, the fuse blows or breaks, cutting off the power to prevent damage or fire.

Common causes for a fuse to blow include power surges, faulty wiring within the appliance, or the use of microwave inappropriate containers that cause sparks. It is essential to address these issues not only to replace the fuse but also to correct the underlying problems to prevent future failures.

Symptoms of a bad fuse include:

• The microwave suddenly stops working.
• No signs of power or response even when the microwave door is closed and the start button is pressed.

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

The Switch Monitor Interlock is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. This safety component ensures that the microwave operates only when the door is securely closed. It prevents the microwave from running if the door is open, providing a critical safety feature to protect users from exposure to microwave radiation.

Causes of a bad switch monitor interlock can include wear and tear over time, mechanical damage from frequent door opening and closing, or electrical malfunctions that impact its performance.

Symptoms of a bad Switch Monitor Interlock include:

• The microwave not starting or operating intermittently
• The microwave running with the door open
• Error messages or safety warnings displayed on the control panel
• Unusual clicking or buzzing noises when the microwave door is opened or closed

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

The Diode Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It plays a crucial role in converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which is essential for the microwave’s high-voltage functions, including powering the magnetron to generate microwave energy.

Over time, diodes can fail due to electrical surges, excessive heat, or wear and tear. A faulty diode assembly can lead to inefficient or non-functional microwave operation, impacting its ability to heat food properly.

Symptoms of a bad diode assembly include:

• Microwave not heating food
• Sparking or arcing inside the microwave
• Burning smell or unusual noises during operation
• Microwave turning on but failing to generate heat

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

The Magnetron is an OEM component specifically designed for GE microwaves. The magnetron is responsible for generating microwave radiation that cooks food by utilizing electromagnetic energy. It works by accelerating electrons within a vacuum tube using a magnet to generate microwave emissions. 

Causes of a bad magnetron can include overuse, excessive cooking times, damage from arcing due to sparks, or general wear and tear over time. 

Symptoms of a bad magnetron include:

• Inefficient or inconsistent cooking and heating 
• Longer cook times required 
• Food not cooking thoroughly or remaining cold in spots
• The microwave making buzzing or humming noises during use

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

The Capacitor High Voltage is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It stores and releases high voltage electrical energy to power the magnetron, which generates the microwaves for cooking.

Over time, capacitors can deteriorate due to prolonged exposure to high voltage, excessive heat, or electrical surges. A malfunctioning capacitor can lead to inefficient cooking or complete failure of the microwave.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• The microwave not heating food properly
• A loud humming or buzzing noise during operation
• The microwave shutting down unexpectedly
• Visible damage or leakage from the capacitor

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

The Rotating Ring Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE built-in microwave models. Located inside the cavity, it supports the glass turntable tray responsible for rotationally cooking food. Each prong of the assembly measures about 4-1/2 inches from the center.

Over time, the rotating ring assembly can wear out due to continuous use and the weight of the food items placed on the turntable. It can also become damaged from spills, impacts, or high temperatures.

Symptoms of a bad rotating ring assembly include:

• The turntable not rotating or wobbling
• Unusual noises during microwave operation
• Uneven cooking or heating of food
• Visible damage or warping of the ring

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

The Microwave Turntable Motor is an OEM replacement part for GE built-in microwaves. It is an electronic part that powers the rotation of the turntable platform which supports food items during cooking. Even heating distribution relies on the turntable's movement powered by this motor.

Causes of a bad turntable motor can include wear and tear over extended use that damages internal wiring, bearings seizing up from lack of lubrication, or debris interfering with rotation.

Symptoms of a bad turntable motor include:

• The platform does not spin at all during cooking leading to uneven results
• Abnormal grinding noises from failed bearings
• Overheating of the motor itself.

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

The Switch Holder is an OEM component specifically designed for GE microwaves. Located inside the microwave cavity, this holder securely mounts interaction switches, sensors, and buttons.

Causes of a faulty switch holder include cracks or breaks developing from years of normal vibration and use.

Symptoms of a bad switch holder include:

• Switches, sensors, or buttons becoming loose, detached, or misaligned
• The microwave fails to register user input or respond appropriately
• Potential shock or short circuit risks if connections are exposed
• Reduced lifespan of mounted components through excessive movement

This genuine GE part is compatible with models including Profile, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.
