Jvm3160rfss Parts

The High Voltage Diode is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It converts the high voltage of the microwave's power supply into a lower voltage suitable for the magnetron. It acts as a one-way valve for electrical current, allowing it to flow in one direction while preventing it from flowing back in the opposite direction.

Symptoms of a faulty high voltage diode include:

• No power or complete loss of power to the microwave
• Inconsistent or inadequate heating performance
• Unusual electrical smells during operation

A bad high voltage diode can occur due to electrical malfunctions, power surges, or excessive heat exposure. If you notice issues such as no power, uneven heating, or unusual electrical smells coming from the microwave, it may be time to replace the old or damaged high voltage diode with this genuine OEM part.

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

The Thermostat is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It acts as a temperature-sensing component that monitors internal heat levels and provides feedback to electronic controls. 

Causes of thermostat failures can involve deterioration over extended use under intermittent high heat stresses.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• Inability to properly cook or reheat foods thoroughly  
• Temperature readings malfunction triggering errors
• Magnetron shutting off unexpectedly mid-cooking cycle
• Cook settings not functioning optimally  

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

This magnetron is the microwave's high-frequency energy source. Replacing a weak or failed tube restores consistent heating performance so food warms evenly and cook cycles complete properly.

• Generates the microwave energy that heats food
• Works with the transformer, capacitor, and diode in the high-voltage circuit
• Failure signs include: runs but does not heat, intermittent or weak heating, or a loud humming/buzzing noise

• Disconnect power; the high-voltage capacitor can retain a dangerous charge—discharge per service information before servicing
• Do not run the microwave with the cover removed
• Handle by the metal body; avoid touching or damaging the antenna/insulator. Secure mounting screws and reconnect terminals firmly
• After reassembly, test with a cup of water to ensure proper heating and fan operation
