WB27X11212 General Electric Microwave Thermostat

Microwave Thermostat Overview

The Microwave Thermostat is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for use in GE countertop microwaves, including brands such as Hotpoint, General Electric, and select Sears-Kenmore models. It plays a key role in monitoring the appliance's internal temperature to maintain safe operations.

Over time, the thermostat may deteriorate due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures during regular cooking cycles. Additionally, steam and food splatters can contribute to sensor damage.

Indications of a malfunctioning thermostat are varied but may include:

- Insufficient heating or reheating of food
- Frequent turning on and off of the microwave's interior lights
- Unstable power levels while cooking
- Overheating incidents leading to automatic shutdowns for safety

This replacement thermostat is also suitable for certain RCA and Kenmore countertop microwave models.
