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

This oven thermostat senses and regulates the oven temperature so food cooks evenly and stays at the set temperature. It replaces a failed or inaccurate temperature control to restore proper oven heating. What it does:

• Monitors oven temperature and signals the burner/elements to cycle on and off
• Helps maintain set cooking temperatures for consistent baking and roasting
• Can correct symptoms like oven running too hot or too cold, or temperature that won't stabilize
• Works with the oven's control system to ensure accurate temperature regulation

• One oven thermostat

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas supply for gas ranges) before servicing
• Handle thermostat sensing bulb and capillary tube carefully; avoid kinks or sharp bends
• Reinstall to the original mounting and verify sensing bulb placement for accurate readings

The Diode Assembly is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It plays a crucial role in converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which is essential for the microwave’s high-voltage functions, including powering the magnetron to generate microwave energy.

Over time, diodes can fail due to electrical surges, excessive heat, or wear and tear. A faulty diode assembly can lead to inefficient or non-functional microwave operation, impacting its ability to heat food properly.

Symptoms of a bad diode assembly include:

• Microwave not heating food
• Sparking or arcing inside the microwave
• Burning smell or unusual noises during operation
• Microwave turning on but failing to generate heat

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

This capacitor helps the refrigerator compressor start and run more reliably by providing the motor with an extra electrical boost when needed. Replacing a failing capacitor restores proper starting torque and improves cooling consistency. What it does:

• Provides the extra electrical charge the compressor motor needs to start and maintain normal operation
• Reduces hard-starting or repeated starting attempts that can overheat the compressor
• Can stop or reduce humming, clicking, or nonstop running caused by a weak start circuit
• Supports stable compressor performance for consistent refrigerator temperatures

• One capacitor (single unit)

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing electrical components
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock
• Inspect wiring and mounting; replace only with the exact OEM part number

The Switch Monitor Interlock is an OEM replacement part for GE microwaves. This safety component ensures that the microwave operates only when the door is securely closed. It prevents the microwave from running if the door is open, providing a critical safety feature to protect users from exposure to microwave radiation.

Causes of a bad switch monitor interlock can include wear and tear over time, mechanical damage from frequent door opening and closing, or electrical malfunctions that impact its performance.

Symptoms of a bad Switch Monitor Interlock include:

• The microwave not starting or operating intermittently
• The microwave running with the door open
• Error messages or safety warnings displayed on the control panel
• Unusual clicking or buzzing noises when the microwave door is opened or closed

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

The Door Interlock Switch is an OEM part for GE microwaves. It ensures the safety of the microwave by preventing the appliance from operating while the door is open. This switch is part of a microwave's safety mechanism, which includes multiple interlock systems designed to stop the generation of microwaves immediately once the door is opened, thereby protecting users from exposure to microwave radiation.

Signs that it's time to replace your door interlock switch include the microwave not starting or stopping unexpectedly, the microwave continuing to operate with the door open, or a failure to heat food even though the appliance seems to be running. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Interlock Switch include:

• Microwave does not start
• Microwave stops unexpectedly
• The microwave operates with the door open
• Microwave turns on but does not heat food

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

This nonstick metal tray sits inside compatible microwave/convection models to support food during the correct cooking cycles. Replacing a warped, worn, or missing tray helps restore stable placement, even heating, and reliable browning.

• Provides a stable, heat-conductive surface for baking, roasting, or crisping as directed in your owner's manual
• Promotes even results and surface browning during convection or other approved cooking cycles
• Replace if the pan is warped or dented, or if the nonstick coating is scratched or flaking
• Common symptoms: poor browning, uneven cooking, tray rocks or won't sit properly, visible damage or peeling
