The Vent Grille is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It covers and protects the vent opening of your microwave, ensuring proper airflow and ventilation during cooking. It prevents dust, debris, and other particles from entering the vent, keeping it clean.

Symptoms of a faulty vent grille include:

• Visible cracks or damage on the grille
• Poor airflow or ventilation during microwave use
• Accumulation of dust or debris around the vent area

A bad vent grille can occur due to regular wear and tear, accidental damage, or improper cleaning. If you notice signs of damage such as cracks, discoloration, or a loose fit, it may be time to replace the worn-out or damaged vent grille with this genuine OEM part.

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

The Control Panel Assembly is an OEM part designed for GE microwaves. As one of the main interfaces of the microwave, this white control panel assembly houses the electronic controls and touchpad membrane that allows users to operate the appliance. 

Causes of a bad control panel assembly could include exposure to spills or moisture that damage electronic components over time. It may also become worn out from frequent use of the touch controls and buttons. 

Symptoms of a bad control panel assembly include:

• Buttons or touch controls no longer functioning properly
• Display or lighting not working 
• Microwave unable to be powered on
• Preset cooking programs and timers malfunctioning

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

This damper is the oven vent assembly that controls airflow and venting during cooking, helping the oven purge steam and maintain consistent temperatures. Replacing a faulty damper restores proper vent operation and helps improve cooking performance. What it does:

• Opens and closes the oven vent to regulate airflow and release steam during bake/broil cycles
• Helps maintain proper cooking temperatures by directing exhaust flow
• A failed damper can cause poor temperature recovery, uneven baking or unexpected venting behavior
• Works as the airflow control component in the oven vent system

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Installation typically requires basic hand tools (screwdriver, nut driver); follow the service manual for disassembly steps
• Handle sheet metal and vents carefully — wear gloves to avoid cuts

This ventilation motor drives the exhaust/vent fan that helps move air through the appliance, restoring proper airflow and helping reduce heat and odors. Designed as a direct replacement to restore ventilation performance. What it does:

• Spins the vent fan to circulate air through the appliance cabinet and exhaust paths
• Helps reduce overheating by keeping airflow through vents and ducts
• Resolves weak or no exhaust airflow, unusual fan noise, or intermittent fan operation
• Matches OEM fit and mounting points for straightforward replacement when specified

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Handle the motor and wiring carefully; match connector and mounting orientation during install
• Inspect vent housing, fan blades, and wiring harness for damage when replacing the motor

This control mounting panel secures the appliance control/console assembly, providing a stable mounting surface that helps keep buttons, switches, and electronics aligned for reliable operation and easier repairs. What it does:

• Provides a rigid mounting surface for the control/console assembly
• Keeps control board and user interface components properly aligned
• Helps prevent movement or vibration-related contact issues
• Common replacement for cracked, bent, or damaged control panels that misalign controls

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Typically accessed by removing the console or outer panel; keep fasteners organized
• Handle the control board and connectors carefully to avoid damage

The Capacitor is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is an electronic component within the microwave's high voltage circuitry. The capacitor works to store and deliver high-voltage electrical energy from the main control board to the magnetron tube in short, powerful bursts required for microwave cooking.

Causes of failure can be due to natural breakdown of the capacitive material over time and use. Capacitors have a limited lifespan that is greatly reduced if subjected to heat, moisture or electrical surges.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• Inconsistent or incomplete cooking even at high power levels
• Slow or inefficient heating during use
• Sparking or burning smells emanating from inside the microwave

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

This control panel overlay replaces the labeled face on a range/oven control panel to restore legible buttons and a clean appearance. It protects the underlying control surface and helps prevent wear-related mis-reads. What it does:

• Replaces faded, worn, or damaged control panel labeling so settings and buttons are clear
• Protects the control surface from spills, grease, and everyday wear
• Helps restore the oven/range's appearance without replacing the entire console
• Can resolve user errors caused by unreadable or missing button markings

• One control panel overlay

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Some installations require removing the control panel or trim; keep fasteners and note their locations
• Peel-and-stick or screw-in methods vary by model—align carefully before securing

This is a binding-head screw used to fasten panels and components on compatible GE appliances. It provides secure, low-profile fastening where a binding head design is required for proper fit and alignment. What it does

• Secures panels, brackets, or small assemblies to prevent movement or rattling.
• Replaces a missing or stripped screw that causes loose parts or squeaks.
• Restores proper alignment for components that rely on the binding-head profile.
• Works where a shallow, rounded head and threaded shaft are specified.

• Use the correct driver size to avoid cam-out or head damage.
• Do not overtighten; snug until secure to avoid stripping threads or damaging parts.
• Disconnect power and follow all appliance-specific safety procedures before accessing panels.

The Vent Motor is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is responsible for circulating air through the appliance and venting moisture, heat, and odors outside the home.

Causes of a bad Vent Motor can include normal wear and tear from extended use over time, exposure to grease or debris that causes increased friction or interference, or damage to motor windings from surges in electrical current.

Symptoms of a bad Vent Motor include:

• Lack of airflow when the vent is turned on
• Strange noises or knocking sounds coming from the vent system
• Grease or residue building up inside the appliance
• Excessive heat inside the oven or microwave

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