• Provides 30-watt illumination as designed by the appliance—interior cavity or cooktop area on select models
• Restores visibility when the original bulb burns out or breaks
• Typical symptoms include no light, dim light, or flickering
• Blackened glass or a broken filament indicates the bulb needs replacement

• One 30-watt incandescent bulb

• Disconnect power at the plug or circuit breaker before servicing
• Allow the bulb and surrounding area to cool before handling
• Access the lamp cover or lens per your owner's manual; remove cover, replace bulb, and reinstall

The Door Latch is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It securely holds the door shut during cooking cycles to contain heat, prevent leaks, and keep small children from accessing the cooking cavity. 

Symptoms of a bad door latch include:

• The door not staying closed properly 
• Gaps appearing around the sealed door 
• Difficulty latching or an insecure feel when closed
• Loose, gritty, or damaged movement of the latch mechanism

Causes of a bad door latch are typically wear over time from repeated use. Exposure to steam and heating elements can also degrade plastic and metal components. An improperly closing door presents potential safety issues by allowing excessive heat to escape.

This genuine GE replacement part is compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore models as well.

This is a fuse that is used on microwaves. This fuse shuts off the microwave if there happens to be a power surge. This helps prevent damage to the microwave unit and also prevents fires from being started from the power surge. Be sure to unplug the microwave from its power source prior to attempting the replacement of the fuse. The process to replace the fuse is relatively easy and can be completed in about 30 to 60 minutes time.A new fuse may be needed if the microwave will no longer turn on. If the fuse has been blown, it will show scorch marks, and the filament inside will be melted.This fuse is a genuine General Electric part and is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually. This specific fuse is compatible with microwaves that are manufactured by the General Electric brand.

This microwave turntable coupler links the turntable motor to the glass tray so it rotates during cooking. Replacing a worn hub restores smooth, reliable tray movement and helps ensure more even heating across your dishes. What it does:

• Transfers rotation from the turntable motor to the tray
• Helps resolve a tray that will not turn
• Corrects wobbling or poor engagement at the center hub
• Can improve heating consistency when the tray fails to rotate

• Includes: 1 turntable coupler

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove the glass tray and roller ring; lift the old coupler straight up from the center
• Align the new coupler with the motor shaft (flat/D-shape) and press down until fully seated
• Installation can vary by model; follow your model's service instructions to access the motor area

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

The Handle Support is an OEM part for GE built-in and over-the-range microwaves. It works to securely mount the door handle allowing easy opening and closing of the appliance.

Symptoms of a faulty handle support can include:

• Loose or wobbly door handle that feels unstable  
• Visible cracks, breaks, or bending of the plastic support bracket
• Difficulty smoothly operating the microwave door 

Causes are typically normal wear from prolonged hinge use or accidental damage. Replacing with this GE OEM component prevents future repair costs from a minor issue. 

Compatible models include GE Profile, Hotpoint, and some Kenmore over-the-range microwaves as well. Maintaining your microwave’s functionality ensures trouble-free cooking convenience for years to come - replace yours today!
