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 Digitron is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is an essential component of the microwave's control board, displaying settings, cooking times, and other information on the microwave's digital display.

Over time, the Digitron can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to moisture, or normal wear and tear. If the Digitron is malfunctioning, it can affect the readability of the display or the functionality of the control panel.

Symptoms of a bad Digitron include:

• The display being dim or completely dark
• Inaccurate or incomplete information shown on the screen
• Flickering or intermittent display issues
• Unresponsive control buttons linked to the display

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

• 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 Magnetron is an OEM component specifically designed for GE microwaves. The magnetron is responsible for generating microwave radiation that cooks food by utilizing electromagnetic energy. It works by accelerating electrons within a vacuum tube using a magnet to generate microwave emissions. 

Causes of a bad magnetron can include overuse, excessive cooking times, damage from arcing due to sparks, or general wear and tear over time. 

Symptoms of a bad magnetron include:

• Inefficient or inconsistent cooking and heating 
• Longer cook times required 
• Food not cooking thoroughly or remaining cold in spots
• The microwave making buzzing or humming noises during use

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

The Capacitor High Voltage is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It stores and releases high voltage electrical energy to power the magnetron, which generates the microwaves for cooking.

Over time, capacitors can deteriorate due to prolonged exposure to high voltage, excessive heat, or electrical surges. A malfunctioning capacitor can lead to inefficient cooking or complete failure of the microwave.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• The microwave not heating food properly
• A loud humming or buzzing noise during operation
• The microwave shutting down unexpectedly
• Visible damage or leakage from the capacitor

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

The Rotating Ring is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This component sits beneath the microwave's glass turntable and facilitates its smooth rotation, ensuring even heating and cooking of food by distributing microwave energy uniformly.

Causes of a bad rotating ring can include regular wear and tear from continuous use, damage from spills or heavy items placed on the turntable, and warping from exposure to high temperatures.

Symptoms of a bad rotating ring include:

• The turntable not rotating or moving unevenly
• Unusual noises during microwave operation
• Uneven cooking or heating of food
• Visible damage, cracks, or warping on the ring

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

The Thermostat is an OEM part for GE ovens. This critical component functions as a temperature sensor and controller within the oven, ensuring that the oven heats to the set temperature and maintains it throughout the cooking process. The thermostat prevents the oven from overheating by cycling the heat on and off as needed. 

Symptoms of a failing thermostat include:

• Oven not reaching the desired temperature
• Overheating beyond the set temperature
• Uneven cooking or baking results
• Oven temperature fluctuating more than usual

Causes of thermostat failure generally include age-related wear and tear, calibration issues, or exposure to extreme temperatures that can damage its internal components.

This high-voltage transformer steps household power up to the level needed to energize the magnetron. Replacing a failing transformer can restore consistent microwave heating and reduce excessive humming under load. What it does and common symptoms:

• Steps up AC line voltage to power the magnetron through the high-voltage circuit
• Microwave runs but does not heat food
• Loud humming or buzzing when a cycle starts
• Blows internal fuse or trips breaker immediately after pressing Start (can also be caused by other HV components)

• 1 high-voltage transformer

• Disconnect power; microwave high-voltage components can retain a lethal charge
• Discharge the high-voltage capacitor before handling any internal parts
• Note and photo-document wire positions; transfer one lead at a time to avoid miswiring
• Support the transformer's weight during removal/installation and reuse original mounting hardware and insulators

• "No heat" can also result from a failed magnetron, HV diode, or HV capacitor; diagnose related components before replacing the transformer.

The Relay Board is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It controls the passage of proper voltage levels for various microwave components during operation.

Installed internally, this board transmits power signals to run the magnetron, fan, and lighting systems as directed by the selected cooking settings. Precise switching of voltages is required for consistent and balanced microwave radiation. 

Symptoms of a faulty relay board include:  

• Intermittent or unpredictable power level adjustments
• Magnetron fails to turn on or fluctuates excessively
• Light not illuminating properly  
• Fan speed irregularities
• Microwaves not properly heating foods

Causes can be damage from liquid intrusion, heavy usage over time stressing the relays, or component failures within the board itself.

Replacing with this genuine OEM GE part restores optimized power routing to maintain consistent microwave functions. Compatible models also include some Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore products.
