Jnm3163 Ge Parts

The Grille Vent is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is designed to cover the vent openings, allowing proper airflow while protecting the internal components of the microwave. The grille vent helps maintain optimal ventilation, ensuring that the microwave operates efficiently by preventing overheating.

You should replace the grille vent if it becomes damaged or clogged. Causes of a bad grille vent can include the accumulation of dust and debris, physical damage from impacts, or wear and tear over time. A compromised grille vent can lead to poor ventilation, affecting the microwave's performance and potentially causing overheating.

Symptoms of a bad grille vent include:

• Reduced airflow or ventilation
• The microwave overheating or shutting down during use
• Visible damage, such as cracks or broken slats
• Accumulation of dust and debris in the vent area

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

This is the high-voltage magnetron for a microwave oven. It generates the microwave energy that heats food; replacing a weak or failed magnetron can restore normal cooking performance and resolve "runs but no heat" complaints.

• Generates the RF energy that cooks and heats inside the microwave cavity
• Common fix when the microwave runs but does not heat
• Symptoms can include unusually loud humming/buzzing during operation
• Helps with intermittent heating or a burnt odor from a failing tube

• Disconnect power and safely discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing
• Note wire locations; transfer any shielding, brackets, or insulators from the original as required
• Mount securely and ensure correct orientation for proper cooling airflow
• After reassembly, test heating with a cup of water

The Control Panel Asm is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It houses the electronic components and interfaces that allow users to operate the microwave functions.

Causes of a bad control panel assembly include damage from moisture damage, impact or drop damage over time, or failures in the electronic components' circuitry. 

Symptoms of a bad control panel include:

• Failure to illuminate or light up when buttons are pressed
• Inability to set power levels or time functions  
• Unresponsive or non-functioning buttons
• Display not working or flickering 

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

The Installation Hardware Kit is an OEM part for GE over-the-range microwaves. It contains brackets and fasteners used to securely mount the microwave above the range cooking surface.

Symptoms requiring an installation hardware replacement include:

• Missing or damaged anti-tip brackets  
• Loose mounting screws or damaged mounting plates
• Inability to properly position and affix the microwave

Causes can be stripped mounts from over-tightening old hardware or components lost during a previous removal. Normal wear over extended use may also degrade hardware.

This genuine GE kit is compatible with some Profile and GE Profile series models as well.

This AC synchronous motor powers the microwave's rotating mechanism—such as the mode stirrer or, on some models, the turntable—to circulate energy for more even cooking. Replacing a noisy, seized, or non-turning motor restores smooth rotation and consistent heating.

• Provides steady, low-speed rotation to drive the internal stirrer or turntable
• Promotes more uniform heating by distributing microwave energy
• Common symptoms of a failing motor: uneven heating, rattling/grinding from the cabinet, or the rotating component not turning
• Direct replacement for the original synchronous drive motor

• Disconnect power before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage components that can retain a charge
• Access and location vary by model; remove the outer cover/grille to reach the motor
• Note shaft orientation and transfer any coupler; reuse existing mounting hardware
• Do not operate the unit with covers removed; after reassembly, test with a microwave-safe cup of water

This charcoal filter captures odors and fine particles from the air as it recirculates through the microwave, helping keep your kitchen fresher and reducing buildup inside the unit.

• Adsorbs cooking odors when the microwave is set up for recirculating operation
• Helps maintain airflow by trapping grease and fine particulates
• Replace when saturated or damaged; common signs include lingering odors, reduced capture of smoke/steam, or a visibly dirty filter
• Regular replacement supports effective ventilation and protects internal components

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access panel/grease filter removal may be required to reach the charcoal filter
• Note airflow orientation and seat the new filter securely
• Do not wash; replace at recommended intervals for best performance

The Fuse is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It serves as a safety device that protects the microwave by breaking the circuit if there is a power surge or electrical fault. This helps prevent damage to the microwave's components and ensures safe operation.

You should replace the fuse if it becomes blown or damaged. Causes of a bad fuse can include power surges, electrical faults, or issues within the microwave such as overheating. These factors can cause the fuse to blow, rendering the microwave inoperable.

Symptoms of a bad fuse include:

• The microwave not turning on or suddenly losing power
• No response from the microwave’s control panel
• The microwave stopping mid-cycle without completing the cooking process

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

Magnetron with thermal fuse.
