This halogen light bulb restores bright, reliable illumination inside your appliance, making it easier to check food and read controls. Replace a burned-out or broken lamp to bring back safe, convenient visibility while cooking.

• Provides bright lighting for the appliance cavity or work area
• Direct replacement for a failed, flickering, or shattered bulb
• Helps you monitor cooking progress without opening the door
• Typical symptoms: light won't turn on, intermittent flicker, blackened or broken glass

• Disconnect power by unplugging the unit or switching off the circuit breaker before servicing
• Allow the light area and lens to cool completely
• Handle halogen bulbs with a clean cloth or gloves; avoid touching the glass
• Install per your appliance's instructions and ensure the bulb is fully seated and any cover is secured

Clear plastic lens cover that protects the interior microwave light bulb. Installs over the light housing. Replace if cracked, discolored, or missing.

Grease filter captures cooking vapors and prevents buildup in your microwave. Replace when discolored or grease-coated. Verify fit with your model number.

Fix a microwave vent fan that won't remove smoke or steam with this ventilation motor. Restores proper airflow to clear cooking odors effectively.

This temperature thermistor is the sensor that lets the control board monitor and regulate appliance temperature for reliable cooling performance. Replacing a failing thermistor can restore proper temperature control and cycling. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and sends readings to the control board
• Helps the compressor, fans, and defrost system run at the right times
• Commonly linked to symptoms like incorrect temperatures, overcooling, or frequent on/off cycling
• A faulty thermistor can cause improper defrost timing or erratic cooling behavior

• Disconnect power before inspecting or replacing the sensor to avoid shock
• Handle the sensor and wiring connector gently to avoid damage
• Mount the sensor in the original location and secure wiring per OEM routing

The Thermostat is an OEM part for GE microwaves. This part regulates the temperature within the microwave, ensuring it operates within safe and efficient temperature ranges. It helps prevent overheating by monitoring and controlling the internal temperature, protecting both the appliance and the user.

Causes of a bad thermostat can include wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions, or damage from power surges.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• Microwave not heating properly
• Overheating or shutting off unexpectedly
• Error codes related to temperature issues
• Inconsistent cooking times

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

This microwave thermostat monitors internal temperatures and shuts off heating elements when safe operating limits are exceeded to prevent overheating. It acts as a safety device that protects the microwave's components and prevents fire hazards. Replace this part if your microwave stops heating unexpectedly, won't restart after cooling, or shows overheating error messages.

Microwave won't heat or stops mid-cycle? This magnetron thermostat prevents overheating by cutting power when temperatures spike, then resets when cool.

Mounting bracket for microwave installation. Secures microwave to wall or cabinet. Replace if bracket is bent, cracked, or missing for proper support.

Microwave not heating? A failed diode prevents the magnetron from generating heat. This high-voltage component converts AC to DC power. DIY repair.

Replace your cracked, broken, or missing microwave glass cooking tray. Sits on the turntable to hold food during heating for even rotation and cooking.

This rotating ring supports and turns your microwave's glass turntable during cooking. It ensures even heating by rotating food continuously and keeps the glass tray stable. Replace this part if your turntable won't rotate, makes grinding noises, or the glass tray wobbles during operation.

This glass tray drive coupling connects the turntable motor to the glass tray, allowing it to rotate during cooking. It transfers the motor's rotational power to spin the tray for even heating. Replace if your microwave's turntable doesn't rotate, makes grinding noises, or the glass tray wobbles.

Supports the removable rack inside your microwave cavity. Replace this holder if it's cracked, melted, missing, or broken to restore proper rack positioning.

The Fuse is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It serves as a safety device designed to protect the microwave from excessive current that can cause overheating and potential fire hazards. When the current flowing through the microwave circuit exceeds a certain level, the fuse blows or breaks, cutting off the power to prevent damage or fire.

Common causes for a fuse to blow include power surges, faulty wiring within the appliance, or the use of microwave inappropriate containers that cause sparks. It is essential to address these issues not only to replace the fuse but also to correct the underlying problems to prevent future failures.

Symptoms of a bad fuse include:

• The microwave suddenly stops working.
• No signs of power or response even when the microwave door is closed and the start button is pressed.

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

If your microwave won't power on or runs intermittently, a faulty capacitor may be the cause. This part stores electrical charge for the magnetron.
