Microwave not heating food? A faulty high voltage diode disrupts power conversion. Common DIY repair requiring discharge safety and multimeter testing.
After dismounting the unit from its wall-hanging bracket, the most tedious part of the repair was removing over a dozen screws holding the cover in place from the top, bottom, and both sides. Fortunately, I had placed the unit on a bench that allowed me to slide the unit allowing access to the screws on the bottom edges of the unit. Always discharge the capacitor before continuing to work on the unit by discharging the capacitor by shorting the contact without the diode to ground. Access to the... Read more

Microwave not heating but lights and timer work? The high voltage diode converts AC to DC for the magnetron. DIY repair in 1-2 hours with basic tools.
Wife let me know the microwave was making grinding noise while I was in garage fixing her car starter, never a dull moment. Further questioning she also said it wan't heating the food. Due to being an odd sized built in $$ unit I had to have repaired. I was getting quotes in the $4-500 range for just the magnetron. I was pretty confident the magnetron was the issue and also ordered a new capacitor and diode since I was going to be in there and a lot of money ahead repairing myself. About... Read more
Microwave door won't stay closed or latch? This door latch spring provides tension to secure the door shut. DIY repair in under 10 minutes with video help.
Ordered door latch part and new spring. You Tube video helped me identify what I needed. I tried the fix recommended and it didn't work so I ordered the parts. It took less than 5 minutes to switch out the old for the new. If the door doesn't latch, you can't run the microwave and it's key. It wasn't an expensive or hard fix to get my microwave up and running again. So pleased with AppliancePartsPros for having what I needed and being reasonable about pricing. Turnaround time was excellent! Read more
The Mounting Plate Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This component is designed to mount and stabilize the microwave over the range, ensuring it is safely anchored in its designated space. The mounting plate serves as an interface between the microwave and the wall or cabinet, distributing the weight evenly and providing a firm foundation for the appliance.
Causes of a bad Mounting Plate Assembly can stem from improper installation, which may lead to undue stress and eventual warping or weakening of the material.
Symptoms of a bad Mounting Plate include:
Loose or wobbly microwave unit, indicating the plate may be unable to properly support the microwave's weight.
Difficulty in aligning or fitting the microwave onto the mounting plate, which could be due to warping or damage.
Visible signs of wear, rust, or damage on the plate itself, which can compromise the stability and safety of the mounted microwave.
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
Microwave won't start or keeps running with door open? This door latch and switch assembly restores safe operation. Moderate DIY repair (1-2 hours).
I did some searching on the internet to see if others had the same issue I was having. There were many who had the same problem and everyone of them fixed it by changing out the latch switches, which in my case, were part of the latch body assembly. So I ordered the part from AppliancePartPros and it arrived on Tuesday, 2 business days after I ordered it, which was just as expected. I had also done some research regarding how to replace the latch body assembly and, although I couldn't find... Read more
Fix a microwave that runs but won't heat or won't start when door closes. This door switch is a common fix—most DIYers replace it in 15 minutes.
Checked the three door switches; used ohm meter to see if there was resistance or if a switch was bad. 2 out of 3 switches showed resistance with the ohm meter. The last one tested (of course the last one) NO (normally open) did not show resistance; I.e. the ohm meter reading did not change when the switch was depressed. Appliance parts pros was the only company that had the same model number I was looking for (SZW-V16-FD-63). I ordered the relay switch, 2 days later it arrived (regular... Read more
Charcoal filter traps cooking odors and grease in your microwave. Replace every 6 months when the reset filter light illuminates. Confirm fit with your model.
Ordered microwave filters to supplement those supplied with a new unit. Order was complete and expedited as advertised. Very satisfied with the service provided. Read more
Replace your microwave's interior or underside light bulb when dim or burned out. Restores visibility for monitoring food. Confirm fit with your model.
Knowing the odds of 2 failures occurring at the same exact time was unusually high, I just searched your site for what other broken items might affect these two failures. Came up with next control item upstream and tallied that item failure with percentages of successful repairs, (4 mins.) door safety switch. Since I had to change out the most likely of the 3 and since I was already was going to be into the switch panel I ordered all 3 and swapped them all out to cover my butt, as they were... Read more
Connects microwave ventilation system to ductwork. Mounts at top or rear of unit. Replace if cracked, broken, or missing for proper airflow.
This damper was added to the outside vent duct line as an additional block against outside air intrusion. Under spousal orders I had just changed the microwave vent to the outside (the proper way to go, but much more difficult to accomplish) but then there was some "flowback" when the wind was pressing against the back of the house (westward facing), and I was ordered to reduce this flow before the winter arrived in full force. There is this same damper on the microwave unit itself, but I... Read more
Holds the light bulb securely in your microwave for proper interior illumination. Replace if bulb won't stay in place, socket is burned or cracked.
I recently tackled a repair on my GE microwave (model JVM1440BD003, manufactured in 2003) to replace the light bulb sockets for the under-microwave lights. Since one socket was failing, I decided to replace both at the same time to avoid future issues. I used two WB08X10016 light sockets, which are the correct OEM parts for this model. The process started off smoothly thanks to a helpful installation video on the website. It made the job look straightforward: remove five screws to drop the... Read more
This is a micro switch that detects whether the microwave door is properly closed and latched. It is part of the safety interlock system that prevents the microwave from operating with the door open. Replace this switch if the microwave does not start when the door is shut, runs with the door open, blows a fuse when the door closes, or stops mid-cycle intermittently.
Grease filter for range hoods and over-the-range microwaves. Dimensions: 5-15/16" x 13-3/8" x 3/32" (5.9375 x 13.375 x 0.09375). Rectangle shape. Captures grease from cooking air. Replace when clogged, discolored, or every 6-12 months.

Replaces a cracked, chipped, or broken glass turntable tray inside your microwave cavity. Typically damaged during cleaning or accidental impacts.
Pretty easy fix. Took out 7-8 screws to remove cover for access to light. 2 were security type screws so I had to run to the hardware store to buy a special screwdriver. One screw to remove the bulb. Read more
Replaces a cracked, melted, or burned microwave stirrer fan cover. Installs on top of the cavity to protect the stirrer mechanism from damage.
Used a flat head screwdriver to pop off old cover. Put new one back on. Keep the little plastic screw as the new cover does not come with one. Read more
The Lower Lever Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. This component activates the door interlock switch when the microwave door is closed. It ensures that the microwave only operates when the door is securely closed, preventing any operational hazards. Symptoms of a bad Lower Lever Switch include:
Common causes for a malfunctioning Lower Lever Switch can be attributed to mechanical wear from frequent use, damage incurred during cleaning or use, or internal issues affecting the switch’s activation mechanism. This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
Ordered new switches (replaced all three- upper and lower door switches and switch monitor- just to make everything new). Received them within 48 hours! You tube video enabled replacement job to be completed by handyman neighbor in 20 minutes (would have been shorter repair time but for my kibitzing). Appliance Parts Pros gets an A+! Will do business with APP on any future appliance repairs! Read more
