Jvm3162rj555 Parts

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.
 

This high-voltage capacitor is used in the microwave's HV circuit. It stores and releases energy to power the magnetron, helping restore consistent heating performance when the original capacitor has failed or degraded. What it does:

• Provides energy storage and filtering within the microwave's high-voltage power supply
• Helps maintain proper voltage to the magnetron for efficient heating
• Common failure symptoms can include: unit runs but does not heat; loud humming or buzzing; internal fuse blows or breaker trips on start; visible bulging or leakage at the capacitor

• One high-voltage capacitor

• Disconnect power and discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing; dangerous voltage can remain even when unplugged
• Note and transfer wire positions to the new capacitor and secure it with the original mounting hardware

Restore heat in your microwave with this high voltage transformer. It steps household power up to energize the magnetron, addressing no-heat and loud-hum complaints when the original transformer shorts or weakens.

• Steps household AC up to the high voltage required by the magnetron
• Works with the high-voltage capacitor and diode in the heating circuit
• Failure can cause the microwave to run but not heat
• A shorted transformer may cause loud buzzing, burning odor, or blow a fuse/trip a breaker

• Unplug the appliance. The high-voltage capacitor can hold a dangerous charge—proper discharge and safety procedures are essential.
• Remove the outer cabinet to access the HV section; safely remove and support over-the-range units if applicable.
• Label and transfer all wires; connect to the correct primary and secondary/HV terminals and secure the chassis ground.
• Mount the transformer firmly and route wiring away from sharp edges and hot components.

The Microwave Case is an OEM exterior shell compatible with GE built-in microwaves. It fully encloses the unit, protecting internal components from damage.

Causes of a bad case can include dents, cracks or peeling of the protective surface over time. Exposure to heat or moisture may degrade certain materials. 

Symptoms of a bad case include:

• Physical deformities that compromise the outer appearance
• Gaps or holes that allow access to internal electronics
• Loose or detached door and control panel trim 

This case is also compatible with select Hotpoint and RCA microwaves.

This rivet assembly is a direct-replacement fastening piece used to secure appliance panels and components, restoring a stable, rattle-free fit and preventing movement caused by worn or broken rivets. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or component mounts to restore proper alignment and support
• Stops rattling, vibration, or loose hardware caused by damaged or missing rivets
• Provides a durable mechanical fastener where original rivets have sheared or loosened
• Helps maintain safe operation by keeping parts properly retained

• Disconnect power (and gas/water if applicable) before attempting any repairs
• Removal may require drilling out the old rivet; installation typically needs a rivet gun or equivalent tool
• Keep hardware orientation the same as the original; replace any damaged surrounding parts

This replacement plate restores the original support and fit for the appliance component it secures, helping stop rattles and misalignment. Use this OEM-design plate when the original is bent, cracked, or missing. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting surface to secure adjacent parts and assemblies
• Prevents movement that can cause noise, misalignment, or uneven operation
• Restores correct spacing and alignment for panels or elements
• Helps maintain safe, consistent appliance performance when damaged

• One plate

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting any repair
• Handle edges carefully; replacement metal parts can have sharp edges
• Verify orientation and alignment before tightening fasteners; use only the hardware specified by the manufacturer
