WB24X10047 - GE Microwave Switch

This GE Microwave Switch (WB24X10047) is a genuine part specifically designed for GE appliances. It's commonly found within the door latch mechanism of your microwave. Also known as the Primary Door Interlock Switch or simply the Interlock Switch, this component plays a crucial role in operating your microwave safely and efficiently.

Switches in microwaves electrically control various components and detection states, such as lighting, ventilation, timers, and door operations. Operated by buttons, dials, and levers, the switches signal controllers to activate functions according to the programming. Importantly, this moisture-resistant switch is designed to withstand the humidity common in kitchen environments. When switches malfunction, they disrupt the overall operation of the microwave, necessitating their replacement. Symptoms indicating the need for a new switch include the microwave failing to start, intermittent operation, or issues with door closure detection.

To ensure this part fits your appliance, please verify your device's model number for compatibility before purchasing.
