The Control Board is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This board is responsible for controlling the various heating elements, fans and sensors within the microwave to make sure you have proper and safe operation. It allows the microwave to function, including setting time/power levels and relaying information from the temperature and humidity sensors.

Causes of a bad control board can include failure due to prolonged exposure to steam and moisture inside the microwave, defects from manufacture, or damage due to impact or mishandling.

Symptoms of a bad control board include:

• Microwave not heating or working properly
• Unable to set correct time/power level
• Error codes or strange beeping during use
• Fans or other internal components not functioning

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

The Turntable Motor is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is responsible for rotating the glass turntable plate during cooking, ensuring food is evenly heated throughout the microwave cavity. 

Symptoms of a bad turntable motor include:

• The turntable not spinning at all or rotating unevenly
• Loud grinding or clicking noises coming from the motor area  
• The turntable plate wobbles excessively during the operation

Causes can be normal wear and tear over time from continuous use, failure of electronic components in the motor, or damage from heavy loads or impact. This GE replacement motor restores even cooking performance.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models. Replace yours today before a minor problem becomes a major repair bill. Continued use without a properly functioning turntable can damage other microwave components.
 

The Turntable Shaft is an OEM part for GE built-in and over-the-range microwaves. It acts as the central hub on which the turntable platter smoothly rotates during the cooking cycle. 

Causes of a problematic shaft can include wear from prolonged use creating play or friction in rotational movement. Debris intrusion into the central bearing assembly can also affect smooth operation over time.

Symptoms of a bad shaft include: 

• Turntable that no longer spins consistently or doesn't turn at all
• Grating or grinding noises coming from below the turntable 
• Imbalanced cooking results affecting some areas more than others

This GE replacement shaft ensures even heating by allowing for uniform distribution of microwave energy throughout cooking. Compatible with GE Profile, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore units, it restores reliable functionality before further troubles develop.
 

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.
 

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 stainless steel outer oven door assembly replaces a damaged or worn exterior door to restore appearance and sealing. It provides a finished stainless look and a proper closure for safe, efficient oven operation. What it does:

• Replaces a dented, scratched, or bent outer oven door to restore cosmetic appearance
• Helps the oven door close properly to maintain internal temperature and cooking performance
• Replaces a door with damaged trim or exterior paneling
• Returns a clean stainless finish for a like-new exterior

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Door assemblies can be heavy and awkward—use two people to avoid injury or damage.
• Handle edges and any broken glass carefully and wear protective gloves if needed.
• Follow the manufacturer instructions for correct alignment and screw torque.

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 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.
