The Receptacle Push-In is a genuine OEM part designed for GE ovens. It serves as both the holder and the electrical connector for the oven's light bulb. This part is crucial for keeping the light bulb firmly in place and functional, thus ensuring clear visibility inside the oven. By allowing you to see inside without opening the door, it helps maintain a steady cooking temperature.

The deterioration of a Receptacle Push-In can occur due to several reasons:
- Frequent bulb changes can cause wear and tear.
- High temperature exposure may weaken the receptacle materials.
- It can be accidentally damaged during cleaning or maintenance tasks.

Indications of a malfunctioning Receptacle Push-In include:
- Flickering or non-working oven light, even with a new bulb installed.
- Visible signs of damage or melting on the receptacle caused by high heat.
- Challenges in placing or securing the light bulb in the receptacle.

This GE part is also suitable for use in appliances from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears.
