Jvm150sp1ss Parts

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:

• The microwave not starting or heating
• Running when the door is opened
• Unusual noises when the door is closed  

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 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 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:

• The microwave not heating food
• Unusual humming or buzzing noises
• The microwave shutting down or not starting

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

This thermostat switch is a temperature-sensitive safety device used in select appliances to open or close an electrical circuit at a set temperature. Replacing a failed switch helps restore proper temperature control and protects components from overheating.

• Monitors temperature and changes state (open/closed) at its calibration point
• Helps prevent overheating or incorrect temperature regulation
• Common failure signs: no heat/overheating, intermittent cycling, or unit shutting off prematurely
• May be mounted to a bracket or surface near the heated area, depending on the model

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Note wire positions and orientation of the original switch before removal
• Transfer any mounting hardware from the old part if not reusable
• After installation, test operation and observe initial heating cycle for proper function

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:

• Rectifies high-voltage AC to DC to power the magnetron
• Blocks reverse voltage in the HV circuit
• Common failure symptoms can include: runs but doesn't heat; loud hum then shutdown; line fuse blows at startup

• 1 high-voltage diode

• Unplug the microwave and properly discharge the high-voltage capacitor before servicing—dangerous voltage can remain even when unplugged
• Match diode orientation/polarity to the original and ensure a solid chassis ground connection where used
• Route leads and reinstall any clamps/insulators exactly as found; keep wiring clear of sharp edges and hot components
• If the original diode failed, inspect the HV capacitor and transformer for related issues before reassembly

Ceramic

This is a magnetron that is used on microwave ovens. The purpose of the magnetron is to provide the microwaves that actually cook the foot inside of the microwave oven. Use caution when replacing this part. High-voltage capacitors in microwaves can retain a deadly amount of electrical charge, even when they are unplugged.If the microwave begins making a buzzing noise and doesn't heat food properly, this part will need to be replaced. Use extreme caution when working with this appliance. Unplug the unit first.This particular magnetron is compatible with microwave ovens that are manufactured by the General Electric, Hotpoint, and Maytag brands. This part is sold individually and is sourced directly from the manufacturer as a genuine OEM part.

This magnetron generates microwave energy to heat food in compatible countertop and over-the-range microwaves. Replacing a worn magnetron restores cooking power and helps eliminate uneven heating or failure to heat. What it does:

• Converts high-voltage electrical power into microwave radiation used to cook and reheat food
• Common symptom: oven runs but food doesn't heat or heats very slowly
• May also be needed if you notice loud buzzing, arcing, or burning odors during operation
• Works with the microwave's high-voltage system; other components may also need inspection

• One magnetron (single unit as shown)

• Disconnect power and discharge the microwave's high-voltage capacitor before servicing
• Inspect surrounding parts (waveguide, diode, capacitor, and cooling fan) for damage during replacement
• Use only the correct replacement part number to ensure proper fit and safe operation

This gas flame sensor detects whether a burner's flame is present so the range/oven's gas valve and ignition control can operate safely. It helps restore reliable ignition and prevents the valve from staying open when no flame is detected. What it does:

• Senses the presence of a gas flame and signals the control to keep the valve open
• Helps prevent gas flow if a flame is not detected
• Can stop ignition or cause the oven/range not to heat when failing
• Commonly replaced when burners won't stay lit or control shows ignition-related errors

• One gas flame sensor

• Turn off electrical power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Handle the sensor and its connector carefully to avoid damage
• Reinstall in the exact position and orientation; loose connections can cause false faults

This run capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run smoothly by storing and releasing electrical energy. Replacing a worn capacitor can restore reliable motor operation and reduce abnormal motor noise or cycling. What it does:

• Provides the brief power boost motors need to start and maintain RPM
• Helps stabilize motor voltage and improve run efficiency under load
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as motors that hum but won't start, slow or intermittent motor operation, or unusual motor noise
• Reduces stress on motor windings that can lead to premature failure when functioning properly

• One motor capacitor

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Capacitors can hold a charge; discharge safely
• Observe proper polarity and mounting location during installation; secure wiring and connectors

Oven interior white

This stirrer assembly circulates microwave energy inside the oven cavity to promote even cooking and reduce hot spots. It replaces a worn or damaged stirrer to restore consistent heating and quieter operation. What it does:

• Rotates to scatter and distribute microwave energy for more uniform cooking and reheating
• Helps reduce unevenly cooked food and cold spots when functioning properly
• Stops wobbling, binding or noise caused by a cracked or broken stirrer
• Prevents potential arcing from damaged components behind the waveguide cover

• One stirrer assembly

• Disconnect power at the wall or circuit breaker before inspecting or replacing the stirrer
• Access usually requires removing the microwave cavity grille or interior waveguide cover; keep fasteners and hardware for reassembly
• Handle the stirrer and waveguide area carefully to avoid damaging the magnetron or waveguide seal
