WB24X25397 General Electric Microwave, Range/Stove/Oven Door Switch

Microwave, Range/Stove/Oven Door Switch. GE brands include Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, Sears-Kenmore. The GE monitor interlock switch serves as a genuine replacement part for GE microwaves and is compatible with several other brands including Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears. Typically positioned within the microwave's door assembly near the latch mechanism, this switch ensures the appliance operates safely. It functions by disabling the microwave when the door is open to prevent it from running. Conversely, closing the door activates the switch, enabling the microwave to operate. Should the door open while the microwave is in use, the switch promptly cuts power, ensuring the magnetron is turned off for safety.

This component addresses issues such as the microwave running with the door open, failure to start upon closing the door, visible damage or corrosion on the switch, and the appliance light staying on despite the door being closed.
