The Microwave Door Switch is an OEM part for GE microwaves, designed to prevent the microwave from operating when the door is open by interrupting the power whenever the door is not securely closed. The door switch is an essential safety feature.
Symptoms of a failing Microwave Door Switch include:
Causes of a bad Microwave Door Switch can result from repeated opening and closing of the door or slamming that can cause the switch to degrade or become misaligned, leading to intermittent or failure.
This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
The first symptom was our microwave would continue to run after the time was up. The light would go out, the turn table would stop but you could still hear the microwave running and whatever was in it would continue to cook. The only way to stop it was to open the door. It was intermittent at first but eventually it would always run no matter what as long as the door was closed. Several other posts referenced these switches as the problem. I just replaced both and problem gone. It turns out... Read more
The Capacitor is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This component stores and releases electrical energy to help power the microwave's high-voltage circuits, essential for the proper functioning of the appliance.
Over time, capacitors can fail due to electrical surges, overheating, or degradation of the internal components. When a capacitor goes bad, it can affect the microwave's ability to generate heat and operate efficiently.
Symptoms of a bad Capacitor include:
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
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
The Magnetron is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It is the component responsible for generating the microwave energy that cooks food. The magnetron converts electrical energy into microwave radiation, which heats and cooks the food evenly.
Over time, the magnetron can fail due to wear and tear, electrical issues, or overheating. Causes of a bad magnetron include electrical surges, prolonged usage without proper cooling, or physical damage from impacts or mishandling.
Symptoms of a bad magnetron include:
This high-voltage rectifier diode is used in the microwave's high-voltage circuit. It converts AC to DC so the magnetron can produce heat. A failed diode can cause no heat, loud humming, or a blown fuse when starting. What it does:
I replaced both the Magnetron and the high voltage diode. I now have a fully functional microwave. I received the parts on time and the quality was good. I would use appliance parts pro's again. Read more

I had a blown fuse in which I replaced it and is up and running now. Read more
A small keyed retaining spring that secures and tensions moving components to restore proper engagement and alignment. Replaces a worn or missing spring to help stop loose parts and intermittent engagement. What it does:
Usually ships within 4 - 14 days
This side cap is a small trim piece that covers and protects the appliance's exposed side edge or hardware, restoring a finished appearance and preventing debris buildup or snagging. It fits where the original side trim cap was installed. What it does
This lamp holder is the socket that secures and powers a refrigerator interior light bulb, restoring reliable illumination so you can see contents clearly. It supports standard refrigerator light bulbs and mounts in the cabinet interior. What it does:
