Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Microwave Before Starting Unplug the microwave before beginning. Open the microwave door and locate the waveguide cover on the interior right wall of the cavity — it is a flat rectangular plate, typically tan or off-white in color. If the old cover is burned, it may be stuck to the wall or disintegrating — carefully remove any remaining pieces and wipe the mounting area clean. Slide or clip the new W10915651 cover into the mounting slot on the right wall of the cavity — it should seat flat against the wall with no gaps. Ensure the cover is fully seated before use. Do not operate the microwave with a missing, cracked, or burned waveguide cover — even a small burn hole can cause arcing and progressive damage. Restore power and run a brief test cycle to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: None. A damp cloth may be needed to clean the mounting area.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the waveguide cover do and why does it need to be replaced?
The waveguide cover is a thin mica plate that covers the opening of the waveguide — the channel through which microwave energy travels from the magnetron into the cooking cavity. Its job is to prevent food particles, grease, and steam from entering and contaminating the waveguide. When food splatter builds up on the cover and burns, the cover develops scorch marks or burn-through holes. These damaged spots absorb microwave energy and cause arcing — sparks and electrical discharges that can quickly damage the magnetron, which is the most expensive component in the microwave. Replacing the waveguide cover promptly when it shows damage is the least expensive and most important preventive maintenance you can do for a microwave.
Can I use the microwave without the waveguide cover?
No — never operate a microwave with a missing, cracked, or burned waveguide cover. Without the cover, food particles and moisture can enter the waveguide directly, causing immediate arcing and sparking. Even a small hole in the cover can cause arcing. Operating the microwave in this condition risks damaging the magnetron (a $100–$200 or more repair), burning the waveguide channel, or creating a fire hazard. The waveguide cover is inexpensive and installs in minutes — always replace it before using the microwave again.
My microwave is sparking — will replacing the waveguide cover fix it?
Sparking is almost always caused by a burned or damaged waveguide cover, and replacing the cover resolves the sparking in the vast majority of cases. However, if the waveguide itself (the metal channel behind the cover) has been damaged from prolonged arcing, or if metal debris from a burned cover has entered the waveguide, additional cleaning or component repair may be needed. Inspect the area behind the old cover after removing it — if the wall or channel shows deep burn damage, contact our support team or a technician before operating the microwave again.
How do I prevent the waveguide cover from burning again?
The most effective prevention is to keep the interior of the microwave clean — specifically the waveguide cover itself and the walls near it. Wipe down the cover and interior walls with a damp cloth after each use, especially after heating anything that splashes or spatters. Use a microwave-safe cover or lid over food when heating. Never operate the microwave when empty, as this directs all microwave energy at the waveguide cover without any food to absorb it. With regular cleaning, a mica waveguide cover can last for years without needing replacement.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from heat-resistant mica to match the dimensions and fit of the original W10915651 waveguide cover.

XPARTCO EXPHV10 Microwave High Voltage Diode
The XPARTCO EXPHV10 is a universal aftermarket replacement high voltage diode (rectifier) compatible with most major microwave brands including GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Panasonic, Sharp, KitchenAid, and Kenmore. The high voltage diode is a critical component in the microwave's high-voltage circuit, working alongside the high-voltage capacitor and transformer to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) — providing the high-voltage DC power required by the magnetron to generate microwave energy and heat food.
When the diode fails — due to electrical surges, overheating, or normal wear — the magnetron cannot receive the correct power supply, resulting in a microwave that runs but does not heat. A failed diode may also cause the high-voltage fuse to blow repeatedly. Rated at 12,000V DC (12 kV) with a 500mA current capacity, the EXPHV10 is a universal cross-brand replacement that meets or exceeds OEM specifications across hundreds of microwave models.
⚡ HIGH VOLTAGE SAFETY WARNING — READ BEFORE SERVICING Microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can store a lethal electrical charge of up to 2,100 volts even when the microwave is unplugged. Do NOT touch any internal components without first discharging the capacitor. If you are not experienced with high-voltage appliance repair, do not attempt this repair yourself — contact a qualified appliance technician. Always unplug the microwave before opening the cabinet and discharge the capacitor using a properly insulated discharge tool before handling any internal parts.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO EXPHV10 Microwave High Voltage Diode fixes microwaves that run but produce no heat, have a repeatedly blown fuse, or have a humming sound with no heating. It converts AC to DC power for the magnetron and is rated 12,000V DC / 500mA. Universal fit — compatible with most GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Panasonic, Sharp, KitchenAid, and Kenmore microwaves.

Installation Notes
⚡ DANGER — HIGH VOLTAGE — DISCHARGE CAPACITOR BEFORE SERVICING Microwaves store a lethal charge in the high-voltage capacitor even when unplugged. You must discharge the capacitor before touching any internal parts. Use a properly insulated discharge tool or resistor — never a screwdriver or bare wire. Once the capacitor is safely discharged: unplug the microwave and remove the outer cover. Locate the high voltage diode — it is connected between the high-voltage capacitor and the chassis ground. Disconnect both leads, note the orientation/polarity, remove the old diode, and install the new EXPHV10 in the same position and orientation. Reconnect leads, reassemble the cover, and test heating operation. Time required: approximately 20–25 minutes. If you are unsure about any step, contact a qualified appliance technician.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the EXPHV10 fit my microwave?
The EXPHV10 is a universal replacement diode compatible with most GE, Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Panasonic, Sharp, and Kenmore microwaves. Use the model search above to verify, or contact our support team before ordering.
What does the high voltage diode do?
The high voltage diode works with the capacitor and transformer to convert AC power to high-voltage DC power — typically around 4,000 to 5,000 volts. This DC voltage powers the magnetron, which generates the microwave energy that heats food. A failed diode prevents the magnetron from receiving proper power, resulting in a microwave that runs but does not heat.
How do I test if my microwave diode is bad?
After safely discharging the capacitor, use a multimeter set to the diode test mode. A good diode will show continuity in one direction and no continuity in the other (one-way electrical flow). A bad diode will show either no continuity in both directions (open) or continuity in both directions (shorted). A shorted diode will also cause the fuse to blow repeatedly.
My microwave fuse keeps blowing — is the diode the problem?
A shorted high voltage diode is one of the most common causes of a repeatedly blown microwave fuse. When the diode shorts, it draws excess current which blows the fuse. If you replace only the fuse and it blows again immediately, test the diode and capacitor as well before replacing the fuse again.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket universal replacement part built to OEM-equivalent electrical specifications. It is not a genuine OEM part from any specific brand, but is rated at 12,000V DC / 500mA — meeting or exceeding the requirements of most microwave high-voltage circuits.

XPARTCO EXP480 Microwave Door Switch (NC - NO) Normally Closed / Open
The XPARTCO EXP480 is a universal replacement door interlock switch for microwave ovens and microwave/oven combination units. This is a critical safety component: microwave door interlock switches exist specifically to cut power to the magnetron the instant the door opens, preventing any possibility of microwave radiation escaping the cavity while the door isn't fully closed and latched. This switch combines both a normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) contact set in a single body, matching the dual-contact design used across a wide range of microwave door latch mechanisms.
Rated 16A maximum current, 250VAC maximum voltage, with an IP40 protection rating. Over time, these switch contacts can wear, pit, or fuse together from repeated cycling and the electrical load they carry every time the door opens and closes. A failing interlock switch typically shows up as a microwave that won't start at all, a display that works but the unit won't heat, or in less common but more serious cases, a switch that has fused shut and continues carrying current even when it shouldn't. It directly replaces 28QBP0496, W10211972, 4375346, W10330566, WPW10330566, 1472224, 4393442, 4393498, 4393570, 4393697, 4393881, 461967848881, 8206345, W10131248, W10217468, AH2338920, EA2338920, AP4357880, PS2338920, KW3A-16Z0-A200-76, W10727360, W10269457, 3379124, AP5950105, and PS10057151.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Never Bypass A Door Interlock Switch Unplug the microwave before beginning any work, and if it's a built-in or over-the-range unit, shut off power at the breaker as well. Microwave ovens also contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit is unplugged — avoid touching internal components near the capacitor and magnetron. Door interlock switches are a critical safety system: they exist specifically to cut power the instant the door opens, preventing microwave radiation from escaping the cavity. Never operate a microwave with an interlock switch disconnected, bypassed, or jumpered, even temporarily — doing so can expose you and others to microwave radiation. If you are not fully comfortable working inside a microwave's internal compartment, have a qualified appliance technician perform this repair instead.
⚠️ Photograph Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match The Failed Switch Exactly Wear work gloves. Remove the outer cabinet or access panel per your model's service instructions to reach the door switch assembly, typically located near the door latch mechanism. Photograph the wiring on the old switch before disconnecting anything, and confirm you're replacing the correct switch position if your microwave uses multiple interlock switches. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old switch, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new EXP480 in the same position, reconnect each wire terminal to its original position, and secure the mounting screws. Reinstall the cabinet or access panel. Restore power and test that the microwave starts normally with the door closed, and — this is the critical safety check — confirm the unit stops heating immediately when the door is opened during a test run with a cup of water. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave stopped working. How do I know if it's actually a door switch and not something else?
A common pattern is a microwave where the display and buttons respond normally, but pressing start does nothing, or the unit hums without heating — this points toward the door interlock circuit rather than the control board. Since these switches also serve a critical safety function, if you suspect a fault in this area, it's best to have it properly diagnosed and replaced rather than working around the symptom.
Is it safe to just disconnect a faulty interlock switch so the microwave will run?
No — this is not safe under any circumstances. Door interlock switches exist specifically to cut power to the magnetron the instant the door opens, preventing microwave radiation from escaping. Bypassing, disconnecting, or jumpering one of these switches removes that protection and can expose you and anyone nearby to microwave radiation, even if the microwave otherwise appears to run normally. Always replace a faulty switch with a correctly rated new one rather than working around it.
My microwave trips the breaker whenever I open the door. What does that mean?
This can indicate that one of the door switches — often the one that should open when the door opens — has fused or welded its contacts shut from repeated electrical stress, so it continues carrying current when it shouldn't. This is a genuine safety concern and the affected switch should be replaced promptly rather than continuing to use the microwave.
My microwave uses more than one door switch. How do I know which one to replace?
Most microwaves use two or three separate interlock switches working together, and they don't always share the same contact configuration. Check your appliance's parts diagram or the physical switch you're replacing to confirm it matches this NC/NO combination design before ordering, and always test or verify function with a multimeter if you're uncertain which specific switch has failed.

XPARTCO EXP20AG Glass Line Fuse, Fast Blow, 20A
The XPARTCO EXP20AG is an aftermarket replacement fast-blow glass line fuse rated 20A at 250V, used as the primary overcurrent protection component in microwaves and a range of other household appliances. A line fuse sits directly in the incoming power path: as long as current draw stays within its rating, it does nothing at all, but the instant a short circuit or an overcurrent condition pushes current past 20A, the thin wire element inside the fuse melts and opens the circuit — sacrificing itself to protect the more expensive components downstream, like a transformer, magnetron, or control board. A blown fuse is why an appliance can go from working normally to completely dead with no lights, no display, and no response to any button.
This is a standard-dimension glass cartridge fuse measuring 6mm x 30mm, fast-blow (fast-acting) rated, so it opens quickly once its rating is exceeded rather than tolerating a brief surge the way a slow-blow fuse would. It is commonly used across GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, Kenmore, and other brands' microwaves, and also turns up in HVAC control boards and various small appliances that use this same standard fuse size and rating. A fuse itself does not wear out from age the way a mechanical part does — if one has blown, it is a symptom of an overcurrent event somewhere else in the appliance, and it's worth understanding why before simply swapping in a new one.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO EXP20AG Glass Line Fuse fixes microwaves and other appliances that have gone completely dead — no lights, no display, no response to any button. Fast-blow, 20A, 250V, standard glass cartridge, 6mm x 30mm. Commonly used across GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, and Kenmore microwaves and other appliances requiring this fuse size and rating. If a new fuse blows again right away, don't just keep replacing it — that almost always means there's an underlying short circuit that needs to be diagnosed first.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Microwave completely dead — no display, no lights, no response to any button
Appliance suddenly stopped working with no warning
Microwave won't start even though the outlet has power
HVAC control board or other appliance electronics unresponsive
Appliance tripped off after a power surge or brownout
Visible blown or darkened fuse when inspected against a light
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.
Replaces Part Numbers
This glass line fuse directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers:
EXP20AG, AGC20, GMA20, 20AG, 5304509451, AP6230606, PS12071294, 5304488359, AP5648907, PS5136235, 5304464087
Because this is a standard fuse size and rating rather than a brand-specific component, the exact OEM part number your appliance's manual references will vary. If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This fuse is compatible with select appliances from the following brands that use a standard 20A, 250V, fast-blow 6mm x 30mm glass cartridge fuse:
GE and Hotpoint microwaves (select models)
Frigidaire microwaves (select models)
Whirlpool and Kenmore microwaves (select models)
KitchenAid, Maytag, and Amana microwaves (select models)
Select HVAC control boards and other electronics using this fuse size and rating
Note — glass vs. ceramic body: This is the glass-body EXP20AG fuse. A visually similar ceramic-body fuse (commonly labeled EXP20A) is also widely sold at the same 20A/250V rating for many of the same appliances. Check which body material your appliance's original fuse used before ordering, and always match the amperage and voltage rating exactly — never substitute a higher-amperage fuse "to stop it from blowing," since that removes the very protection the fuse is designed to provide. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which fuse your appliance needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Microwave High-Voltage Capacitor If you are replacing this fuse in a microwave, be aware that microwaves contain a high-voltage capacitor that can store a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit has been unplugged. Never open a microwave's cabinet without first discharging the capacitor using an insulated screwdriver shorted across its terminals, and never touch the capacitor or its terminals directly. If you are not fully comfortable with this step, have a qualified appliance technician perform the fuse replacement instead.
⚠️ Unplug The Appliance Before Starting — Match Amperage And Voltage Exactly Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Locate the fuse holder — on most microwaves this is accessible after removing the outer cabinet, often near the incoming power cord or the control board. Remove the old fuse from its clip or holder and inspect it: a blown fast-blow fuse often shows a visibly darkened or broken filament, or a scorched glass body. Test with a multimeter set to continuity if the fuse looks intact but you suspect it's still bad — a good fuse shows continuity end to end, a blown one shows none. Install the new EXP20AG fuse in the same holder, making sure the amperage and voltage rating match your appliance's original fuse exactly. Reassemble the cabinet, restore power, and test the appliance. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, insulated screwdriver (for microwave capacitor discharge), multimeter (recommended), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
I replaced the fuse and it blew again right away. What's going on?
A fuse doesn't fail on its own from age — it blows because something downstream drew more current than it should have. If the new fuse blows again immediately, that's a strong sign of an underlying short circuit or a failing component such as the transformer, magnetron, or a shorted capacitor. Continuing to replace the fuse without finding that root cause will just keep blowing new fuses, and in a microwave specifically, that diagnosis involves working near a high-voltage capacitor that should only be handled by someone comfortable discharging it safely, or by a qualified technician.
Can I use a higher-amperage fuse if this one keeps blowing?
No — this is one of the most important things to avoid with any fuse. The fuse's rating is chosen specifically to protect the wiring and components in the circuit it sits in. Installing a higher-amperage fuse "so it stops blowing" removes that protection and can allow a fault to overheat wiring or damage expensive components (or start a fire) instead of safely interrupting the circuit. Always replace a fuse with the same amperage and voltage rating as the original.
How do I know if the fuse is actually blown?
Visually, a blown fast-blow fuse often shows a broken or darkened filament inside the glass body, or scorching on the glass itself. If it looks fine but you still suspect it, the reliable way to check is with a multimeter set to continuity (with the appliance unplugged and the fuse removed from the circuit) — a good fuse reads continuity end to end, while a blown fuse reads open with no continuity at all.
Is EXP20AG the same as EXP20A?
They share the same 20A/250V rating, but EXP20AG refers to the glass-body version of this fuse while EXP20A commonly refers to a ceramic-body version sold for many of the same appliances. Check which body material your appliance's original fuse used, and if you're not sure, contact our support team with your model number for confirmation.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine brand-specific OEM part, but is manufactured to the same standard 20A, 250V, fast-blow glass cartridge dimensions and rating used across the OEM fuses in compatible GE, Frigidaire, Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag, and Amana appliances.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger: Lethal Charge — Qualified Technician Installation Only A microwave high-voltage capacitor can hold a lethal electrical charge even after the microwave is unplugged. Installation should be done by a qualified service technician who knows how to safely discharge and test the high-voltage circuit. Do not touch the capacitor or its terminals, and do not open the microwave cabinet, unless you are trained to do so. Unplugging the microwave does not make this circuit safe. A technician will normally unplug the unit, safely discharge the capacitor, and note the wiring before removal. Match the replacement's capacitance, voltage rating, and terminal layout to the original, mount it securely in the same bracket position, reconnect the wiring as it was, and confirm all covers are back in place before powering the microwave.
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave runs but doesn't heat — is the capacitor the problem?
A failed high-voltage capacitor is one common cause of a microwave that runs but doesn't heat. Other high-voltage parts, such as the diode and the magnetron, can cause the same symptom, so a technician will usually test them together before replacing parts.
Is it safe to replace this myself?
We recommend a qualified service technician install this part. A microwave capacitor can retain a lethal electrical charge even when the microwave is unplugged, and the high-voltage circuit is dangerous to work around without the right training and tools.
Can I use a capacitor with a different capacitance or voltage?
No. Use the same rating as your original. This listing is a 1.05 µF, 2100 VAC capacitor. A 1.0 µF capacitor (13QBP21100) is a different part and is not a substitute.
What's included in the order?
1 high-voltage capacitor. It does not include a diode, fuse, or other components.

XPARTCO WB24X10146 Microwave Door Switch
The XPARTCO WB24X10146 is an aftermarket replacement micro switch (also called a door interlock switch) compatible with a wide range of GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Kenmore, and Sears over-the-range and countertop microwaves. This is a "stand on" style normally-open (NO) interlock switch, identified by the internal designation KW3A-NO, that mounts near the door latch and only closes its circuit when the door is fully shut and latched. The control board reads this switch as part of a multi-switch safety interlock chain that confirms the door is secure before allowing the magnetron to energize.
When this switch fails, the microwave commonly won't start at all, trips a door-related error code, or in rare cases can allow the unit to run with the door not fully secured — which is a safety-relevant fault, not just a convenience one. It directly replaces WB24X10146, WB24X28941, MW-7100-33, AGE22794, AH1019163, AP3866977, 1166990, EA1019163, EAP1019163, PD00039881, PS1019163. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WB24X10146 Microwave Door Switch fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears microwaves that won't start, display a door-related error code, or have a door that doesn't reliably confirm as closed. Normally-open (NO) "stand on" interlock switch, rated 250VAC / 16A, with 0.187" (4.7mm) quick-connect terminals. Replaces WB24X10146, WB24X28941, MW-7100-33, AGE22794, AH1019163, AP3866977, 1166990, EA1019163, EAP1019163, PD00039881, PS1019163. Classic symptom: turntable light and display work, but pressing Start does nothing.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Microwave won't start when Start is pressed, even though the display and light work
Door-related error code or fault light on the display
Microwave randomly shuts off mid-cycle
Door feels like it isn't latching or registering as closed
Clicking sound from the door area with no response from the microwave
Intermittent operation that seems tied to how hard the door is closed
⚠ Safety-Relevant Component Door interlock switches are safety components that prevent the magnetron from energizing unless the door is fully closed and latched. Never bypass, jumper, or defeat a microwave door switch to "get it working" — doing so can allow microwave energy to leak while the door is open, which is a genuine radiation safety hazard. Always disconnect power before servicing, and replace all interlock switches in the chain if more than one shows signs of wear.
Cross Reference Information
Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Microwave Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet, and for built-in/over-the-range units also switch off the dedicated circuit breaker — microwaves store high voltage in the capacitor even after unplugging. Remove the outer cabinet or control panel cover to access the door switch assembly near the latch mechanism. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting, since GE microwaves typically use two or three interlock switches wired in sequence and mixing up the connections can leave the unit unsafe to operate. Disconnect the quick-connect terminals from the old switch, noting which wire goes to which terminal. Remove the mounting screw(s) holding the switch to its bracket and remove the old switch. Install the new WB24X10146 in the same position and secure it with the mounting screw(s). Reconnect the terminals exactly as photographed. Reassemble the cabinet or panel, restore power, and test that the door registers correctly and the microwave starts normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver (for cabinet screws).
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave's display and turntable light work, but it won't start — is this the part?
This is a classic symptom of a failed door interlock switch. The control board needs a confirmed "door closed and latched" signal from all switches in the interlock chain before it will energize the magnetron. If that signal is missing from even one switch, most GE microwaves will power up normally but refuse to start a cook cycle. Confirm with a multimeter continuity test on the suspect switch before ordering, since GE microwaves usually use more than one interlock switch.
Is this the same as the EXP499 or EXP497 microwave door switch?
No — while all three use similar 4.7mm terminals, they are different switches used in different microwave platforms and are not interchangeable. WB24X10146 is GE's own "stand on" KW3A-NO design. Always match by part number rather than terminal size or general appearance.
Is it safe to keep using the microwave if I suspect this switch is bad?
We'd recommend not continuing to use it until it's repaired. Door interlock switches exist specifically to prevent microwave energy from leaking out while the door is open or not fully latched. If a switch is failing intermittently, the microwave may seem to work sometimes, but that's not a reason to keep using it — replace the switch before further use, and never attempt to bypass or jumper an interlock switch.
How many interlock switches does my GE microwave have, and do I need to replace them all?
Most GE microwaves use two or three interlock switches wired in sequence (often a primary switch, a secondary/monitor switch, and sometimes a door sensing switch). You typically only need to replace the specific switch that's testing bad, but if one has failed from age or wear, the others are often not far behind — some technicians replace the full set at once to avoid a repeat repair call.

🔍 What’s the Difference Between NC and NO Thermal Cut-Offs?
Normally Closed (NC): Circuit is closed during normal operation and opens permanently when the rated temperature is reached.👉 Most microwave thermal cut-offs are NC.
Normally Open (NO): Circuit is open during normal operation and closes only when overheated (used in limited designs).
⚠️ Installing the wrong type (NC vs NO) may cause the microwave not to run or fail to protect against overheating.
