Parts for Ge JVM140H02: 02 - Section2 Parts

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.

Color: silver. Measures about 11-1/8" x 6-1/4". For matching aluminum filter, use: WB6X486.

Color: metallic. Measures about 7 inches wide by 10 inches deep.

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 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

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.

Ceramic

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

This small terminal pin connects a wire to an appliance's electrical terminal, restoring a secure electrical connection so components receive reliable power and operation. Ideal for repairing loose or damaged wire terminations. What it does:

• Provides a secure metal contact point for a wire at a terminal or connector
• Restores proper electrical continuity when a terminal end is worn, bent, or broken
• Helps eliminate intermittent power, arcing, or component failures caused by poor connections
• Used wherever a single-pin wire termination is required on the appliance harness

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Remove the damaged terminal and ensure the replacement pin matches shape and size
• Crimp or seat the pin per OEM guidance; ensure a snug, corrosion-free connection
• If wiring or harness insulation is damaged, replace the harness
