The Light Bulb is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This bulb illuminates the interior of the microwave during operation, enhancing visibility so you can monitor the cooking process without opening the door. It is designed to withstand the high temperatures and vibrations typically found in microwave ovens.

Over time, the light bulb can burn out or become damaged due to the harsh environment of the microwave. Frequent on and off cycles can also shorten the lifespan of the bulb. Replacing a non-functioning or dim bulb will restore visibility and improve the functionality of your microwave.

Symptoms of a bad light bulb include:

• Dim lighting inside the microwave.
•  Flickering or inconsistent performance.
• Complete lack of light when the microwave is operating.

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

The Grease Filter is an OEM part for GE range hoods and microwaves. It captures grease and other airborne particles generated during cooking, preventing them from accumulating in the appliance and ductwork. This filter helps maintain the efficiency of the exhaust system and reduces the risk of grease fires.

Over time, the filter can become saturated with grease and other residues, reducing its effectiveness and potentially causing odors or airflow issues.

Symptoms of a bad grease filter include:

• Reduced airflow or ventilation performance
• Persistent cooking odors
• Visible grease buildup on the filter
• The filter appearing damaged or worn

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

The Micro Switch is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This part ensures the appliance operates only when the door is securely closed. It controls the electrical circuit, allowing the microwave to start heating food when the door latch engages the switch.

Causes of a bad micro switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, electrical issues, or physical damage from slamming the microwave door.  

Symptoms of a bad micro switch include:

• The microwave not starting or stopping unexpectedly
• The microwave running even with the door open
• Intermittent power issues
• The door not latching or the microwave indicating the door is open

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

This temperature-sensitive thermostat helps protect the microwave and nearby components by switching the circuit based on heat. It typically engages the cooling/vent fan or opens the circuit if excessive heat is detected, preventing overheating damage.

• Monitors temperature and changes state around the 70°C/40°C range
• Helps prevent overheating of internal components during heavy cooking
• Can trigger or regulate the vent/cooling fan on over-the-range units
• Common failure signs: vent fan not auto-cycling with cooktop heat, microwave shutting off from heat, or no continuity when tested at room temp and when heated

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Note wire positions; transfer leads one at a time to the new thermostat
• Mount firmly to its bracket or surface for correct heat sensing
• After installation, verify fan operation and monitor for proper cycling

The Microwave Monitor Switch is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This part monitors the position of the microwave door, ensuring that the microwave does not operate when the door is open. It acts as a crucial safety feature, preventing the microwave from emitting radiation when the door is not securely closed.

Causes of a bad monitor switch can include general wear and tear, repeated use, or electrical issues.  

Symptoms of a bad monitor switch include:

• Microwave not starting or running intermittently
• Microwave operating with the door open
• Error codes or safety warnings displayed
• Unusual noises or sparking inside the microwave

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

This turntable support ring sits beneath the microwave's glass tray and rides on small rollers to enable smooth rotation. Replacing a worn ring restores stable, quiet turning for more consistent heating and helps prevent tray wobble.

• Supports the glass tray and allows it to rotate smoothly
• Helps maintain even heating by keeping the tray centered and turning
• Common symptoms: tray not turning or stopping intermittently; tray wobbling or slipping
• Reduces grinding or squeaking caused by a worn ring

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker
• Remove the glass tray; lift out the old ring and clean the track
• Position the new ring with the rollers facing up and seated evenly
• Reinstall the glass tray and verify free rotation before restoring power

The Door Latch Board is an OEM part for GE microwaves. The latch board controls the door latching mechanism that secures the microwave door closed during operation. It works alongside the door interlock switch to initiate the removal of power to the magnetron when the door is opened, for safety during use. 

Symptoms of a bad latch board include: 

• The door not closing and latching properly  
• The microwave operating with the door open
• Error codes or blinking lights related to the door interlock system
• Issues engaging or disengaging the door-locking mechanism

This replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint and Profile microwaves. 

This microswitch senses the microwave door position and controls the safety interlock circuits. Replacing a worn switch restores proper start/stop behavior so the oven only runs when the door is fully closed.

• Detects door open/closed status to enable or disable cooking
• Part of the safety interlock system that stops operation if the door opens mid-cycle
• Replace if the switch fails a continuity check or shows heat or terminal damage

• Disconnect power before service; microwave capacitors can retain a dangerous charge
• Note wire positions and move them to the same terminals on the new switch
• Ensure the door latch cleanly actuates the switch; test operation before reassembly

The Microwave Thermostat is an OEM part for GE Countertop Microwaves. It is a critical component that monitors the microwave's internal temperature to ensure safe operation. 

Causes of a bad thermostat can include failure of internal components due to prolonged heat exposure during cooking cycles over many years of use. Steam and splatters introduced into the microwave from heated foods can also damage sensors.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• Inability to heat or reheat foods adequately 
• Short cycling of the microwave interior lights 
• Erratic power levels during cook functions
• Overheating errors or shutoffs for safety

This replacement thermostat is also compatible with RCA and some Kenmore countertop microwave models.

Temperature-sensing thermostat that controls an appliance's heating cycle to keep temperatures within a safe operating range. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper temperature cycling, helps prevent overheating, and stabilizes performance. What it does:

• Opens or closes at its designed trip point to control heating elements or temperature circuits.
• Stops heating when the set temperature is reached and allows heating to resume when temperature falls.
• A faulty thermostat can cause no heat, continuous heating, erratic cycling, or temperature that never stabilizes.
• Used as the temperature control device in the appliance's heat-regulation system.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Match wiring and mounting to the original thermostat; do not force terminals or sensor elements.
• Handle the sensor and terminals carefully to avoid damage; do not kink or crush the sensing element.

The High Voltage Diode is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. It converts the high voltage of the microwave's power supply into a lower voltage suitable for the magnetron. It acts as a one-way valve for electrical current, allowing it to flow in one direction while preventing it from flowing back in the opposite direction.

Symptoms of a faulty high voltage diode include:

• No power or complete loss of power to the microwave
• Inconsistent or inadequate heating performance
• Unusual electrical smells during operation

A bad high voltage diode can occur due to electrical malfunctions, power surges, or excessive heat exposure. If you notice issues such as no power, uneven heating, or unusual electrical smells coming from the microwave, it may be time to replace the old or damaged high voltage diode with this genuine OEM part.

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