The Door Interlock Switch is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It ensures the safety of the microwave by preventing the appliance from operating while the door is open. This switch is part of a microwave's safety mechanism, which includes multiple interlock systems designed to stop the generation of microwaves immediately once the door is opened, thereby protecting users from exposure to microwave radiation.

Signs that it's time to replace your door interlock switch include the microwave not starting or stopping unexpectedly, the microwave continuing to operate with the door open, or a failure to heat food even though the appliance seems to be running. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Interlock Switch include:

• Microwave does not start
• Microwave stops unexpectedly
• The microwave operates with the door open
• Microwave turns on but does not heat food

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Fuse is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It serves as a safety device designed to protect the microwave from excessive current that can cause overheating and potential fire hazards. When the current flowing through the microwave circuit exceeds a certain level, the fuse blows or breaks, cutting off the power to prevent damage or fire.

Common causes for a fuse to blow include power surges, faulty wiring within the appliance, or the use of microwave inappropriate containers that cause sparks. It is essential to address these issues not only to replace the fuse but also to correct the underlying problems to prevent future failures.

Symptoms of a bad fuse include:

• The microwave suddenly stops working.
• No signs of power or response even when the microwave door is closed and the start button is pressed.

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

The Halogen Light Bulb is an OEM part for GE microwaves and ovens. It provides interior lighting, allowing you to clearly see the contents inside the appliance during operation. This illumination is essential for monitoring cooking progress and ensuring safety.

You should replace the halogen light bulb if it burns out or becomes damaged. Causes of a bad halogen light bulb can include regular use over time, electrical surges, or physical impact that can cause the bulb to break.

Symptoms of a bad halogen light bulb include:

• The light not turning on when the microwave or oven door is opened
• Flickering or dim lighting inside the appliance
• A burnt-out appearance or visible breakage in the bulb

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

The Switch Monitor Interlock is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. This safety component ensures that the microwave operates only when the door is securely closed. It prevents the microwave from running if the door is open, providing a critical safety feature to protect users from exposure to microwave radiation.

Causes of a bad switch monitor interlock can include wear and tear over time, mechanical damage from frequent door opening and closing, or electrical malfunctions that impact its performance.

Symptoms of a bad Switch Monitor Interlock include:

• The microwave not starting or operating intermittently
• The microwave running with the door open
• Error messages or safety warnings displayed on the control panel
• Unusual clicking or buzzing noises when the microwave door is opened or closed

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

The Diode Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It plays a crucial role in converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which is essential for the microwave’s high-voltage functions, including powering the magnetron to generate microwave energy.

Over time, diodes can fail due to electrical surges, excessive heat, or wear and tear. A faulty diode assembly can lead to inefficient or non-functional microwave operation, impacting its ability to heat food properly.

Symptoms of a bad diode assembly include:

• Microwave not heating food
• Sparking or arcing inside the microwave
• Burning smell or unusual noises during operation
• Microwave turning on but failing to generate heat

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

The Door Latch Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This component ensures that the microwave door securely closes and locks, which is essential for the microwave to operate safely and efficiently.

Causes of a bad microwave door latch assembly can include regular wear and tear, physical damage from slamming the door, or misalignment over time. If the latch assembly is compromised, the microwave may not start or operate correctly, posing potential safety risks.

Symptoms of a bad microwave door latch assembly include:

• The microwave door not closing or locking properly
• The microwave not starting or running intermittently
• Error messages or warnings on the control panel
• Difficulty in opening or closing the door

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

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.

The Cooking Tray is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This tray sits on the turntable in the microwave and holds the food items being heated or cooked, allowing for even rotation and uniform cooking.

Causes of a bad cooking tray can include cracks or breaks from heavy use, exposure to extreme temperatures, or accidental drops.  

Symptoms of a bad cooking tray include:

• Cracks or chips on the tray
• Difficulty in rotating or the tray not rotating at all
• Unstable placement of food items
• Uneven cooking results

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

The Thermostat is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This part regulates the temperature within the microwave, ensuring it operates within safe and efficient temperature ranges. It helps prevent overheating by monitoring and controlling the internal temperature, protecting both the appliance and the user.

Causes of a bad thermostat can include wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions, or damage from power surges.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• Microwave not heating properly
• Overheating or shutting off unexpectedly
• Error codes related to temperature issues
• Inconsistent cooking times

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