The Interlock Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It acts as a safety device that prevents the microwave from operating unless the door is securely closed and latched. The switch monitors the door position and communicates with the main control board to allow or cancel cooking functions.

Causes of failure may include damage from excess heat over time or wear from repeated door openings and closings. Failures can compromise safety if the microwave operates unexpectedly while open.

Symptoms of a bad interlock switch include:

• Microwave can be turned on even when the door is open     
• Error codes displayed related to door issues  
• Inconsistent or faulty communication with the control board

This genuine OEM replacement part is also compatible with GE, Hotpoint, and select Kenmore microwave models.

Color: clear. Measures about 13 inches in diameter.

This latch slider is the replacement sliding component used in the door latch assembly to help secure the appliance door and enable proper latching. Replaces a worn or broken slider to restore reliable door engagement. What it does

• Slides along the latch assembly to engage or release the door catch for secure closing
• Helps the door fully latch so the appliance can start and run normally
• Common symptom: door won't latch or stays ajar even when closed
• Common symptom: door latch feels loose, sticks, or makes noise when operated

• One latch slider

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repairs
• Removing the door or front panel may be required to access the latch assembly
• Use basic hand tools; handle trim and glass carefully to avoid damage
• Verify proper alignment of the slider and latch after installation before restoring power

This thermostat cavity is the molded housing that holds the oven thermostat sensor in place, keeping the sensor positioned for accurate temperature sensing. Replaces a worn or cracked housing to help restore proper sensor alignment. What it does:

• Secures the thermostat sensor/tube so the oven can monitor internal temperature reliably
• Protects the sensor from direct contact with heat sources and food debris
• Helps maintain consistent sensor placement after panel removal or repairs
• Common symptom: oven temperature reads incorrectly or cycles improperly when the housing is damaged

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Requires removal of the control panel or rear access panel depending on model; keep fasteners organized
• Handle gently to avoid cracking the new housing; inspect surrounding clips or tabs and replace if broken

This high-voltage diode assembly replaces the diode in a microwave high-voltage circuit to help restore normal heating and high-voltage operation. It provides the one-way conduction needed for the magnetron's high-voltage supply. What it does:

• Converts AC to DC in the microwave high-voltage circuit so the magnetron can produce microwaves
• Commonly associated with weak/no heating or intermittent heating
• Can cause blown high-voltage fuses or arcing if failed
• Prevents reverse current from damaging other high-voltage components

• Disconnect power and discharge the high-voltage capacitor before service to avoid serious shock
• Handle carefully; high-voltage components and terminals can retain charge
• Check related high-voltage components (capacitor, transformer, fuse) for damage when diagnosing
