The Microwave Door Switch is an OEM part for GE microwaves, designed to prevent the microwave from operating when the door is open by interrupting the power whenever the door is not securely closed. The door switch is an essential safety feature.
Symptoms of a failing Microwave Door Switch include:
Causes of a bad Microwave Door Switch can result from repeated opening and closing of the door or slamming that can cause the switch to degrade or become misaligned, leading to intermittent or failure.
This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
The first symptom was our microwave would continue to run after the time was up. The light would go out, the turn table would stop but you could still hear the microwave running and whatever was in it would continue to cook. The only way to stop it was to open the door. It was intermittent at first but eventually it would always run no matter what as long as the door was closed. Several other posts referenced these switches as the problem. I just replaced both and problem gone. It turns out... Read more

Microwave not heating but lights and timer work? The high voltage diode converts AC to DC for the magnetron. DIY repair in 1-2 hours with basic tools.
Wife let me know the microwave was making grinding noise while I was in garage fixing her car starter, never a dull moment. Further questioning she also said it wan't heating the food. Due to being an odd sized built in $$ unit I had to have repaired. I was getting quotes in the $4-500 range for just the magnetron. I was pretty confident the magnetron was the issue and also ordered a new capacitor and diode since I was going to be in there and a lot of money ahead repairing myself. About... Read more
Holds the light bulb securely in your microwave for proper interior illumination. Replace if bulb won't stay in place, socket is burned or cracked.
I recently tackled a repair on my GE microwave (model JVM1440BD003, manufactured in 2003) to replace the light bulb sockets for the under-microwave lights. Since one socket was failing, I decided to replace both at the same time to avoid future issues. I used two WB08X10016 light sockets, which are the correct OEM parts for this model. The process started off smoothly thanks to a helpful installation video on the website. It made the job look straightforward: remove five screws to drop the... Read more

Ordered new switches (replaced all three- upper and lower door switches and switch monitor- just to make everything new). Received them within 48 hours! You tube video enabled replacement job to be completed by handyman neighbor in 20 minutes (would have been shorter repair time but for my kibitzing). Appliance Parts Pros gets an A+!

Microwave turntable not turning? The turntable motor rotates the glass tray for even heating. Simple DIY repair with basic tools in under an hour.
Unplug your microwave. Took the screws off of the bottom of the unit with it still on the cabinet. The whole bottom panel swung down to expose the turntable motor. I took the power cable loose (just pull it off). It was one screw to take the motor out. Word to the wise: DON'T try to take the plastic coupler off before the motor. Their is a tab that holds it in while the motor is in place. If you pry it up you will break it, trust me. ;) Turn the motor out of its housing and it come right out.... Read more

Controls exhaust airflow in over-the-range microwaves. Replaces bent, damaged, or missing damper assemblies for proper external venting installation.
We followed the manufacturer's instructions about re-positioning the fan motor and installing the vent damper (easy). We constructed a duct system from the microwave to the outside of the house (challenging). We used 3.25" x 10" metal duct to start the system through the wall behind the microwave, where we added framing to reinforce a cut stud. We ran the duct up a closet wall and through its ceiling into the attic. We had to make an offset duct piece from 3.25" x 10" metal duct to clear a... Read more
Microwave not heating but still running? The magnetron converts electricity into microwave energy. DIYers report 1-hour installs with proper safety.
Chatted with a verified expert at justanswer.com (for a fee), he confirmed the parts I needed. AppliancePartsPros.com had them in stock AND they were 100% returnable/refundable if I didn't use them or weren't what was bad, even if I installed them! Where can you get that kind of guarantee anymore? Used some YouTube videos to learn how to support the microwave to get it down, & we moved it to the table, I took out the old magnetron and high voltage diode and replaced with the OEM magnetron and...
