Microwave Oven Door Switch Replacement Part, 16A 125VAC, KW3AT-16 (Downward Compatible with KW3A-16), Normally Open - 2Pcs

GE model JVM3160 microwave (over the range) - Replacement door switches match and worked perfectly!Definitely recommend (working for 4 months so far - will update if changes occur.Disclaimer! If you don't have knowledge and/or experience with electrical repairs, I don't recommend doing this yourself without thorough research and exactness in grounding procedures! There is a risk of harm due to SHOCK if you done incorrectly!This door switch worked like a charm. Our microwave blew the breaker switch about 5 times before the power to the microwave went out completely. In researching what might cause this I learned that our habit of opening the microwave door during a cooking cycle, rather than using the stop/clear button beforehand, would be a likely cause for a switch to go bad. I searched for a replacement switch by the make/model of my microwave (G.E. over the range JVM3160) and found this 2 pack of switches.Note: Most microwaves have 2 switches, NO (Normally Open) vs NC (Normally Closed). Since I didn't want to take apart the door to find out which one I needed, I bought one of each. I used one and have one on hand if the other switch fails. The price difference between buying one or more really isn't an issue.We are definitely DIY people so we made sure to turn off the power at the breaker box AND followed grounding recommendations (to avoid a serious risk of shock). Changing the switch was simple and fast and the microwave works great!Like many people, we use our microwave daily so being without it was SUPER INCONVENIENT. I had considered buying a new microwave which would have cost between $260 - $500+ but our microwave was only 3 years old. Instead, I found a **used countertop microwave for $25 on Facebook Marketplace to use in the interim. This gave me time for the replacement parts to arrive and a convenient time to replace them.The overall savings was hundreds of dollars, not to mention the hassle and time involved to remove and reinstall a new microwave. I'm using the **interim microwave in our theater room, serving a dual purpose moving forward.

Used this for my 3 year old frigidaire microwave. Microwave kept shorting out, and found out it was the door switch. Wife was ready to buy a new one and figured I would try the door switch after using the multimeter to try to find the issue. Very easy replacement for an inexpensive part, saved me a new microwave and took little time to fix. No one thought I would be able to fix this, and it was so easy. Also came with a spare door switch.

I only used the NO switch for my Panasonic Inverter microwave. The contact blades were a little wider, and a little thicker, than the original, so I ground the width down about 1/16". Still was tight, but I was able to get the connector on. That fixed the problem. Old switch was definitely bad: no spring tension under the button.

If I could have give a “NO” star review I would have but it made me pick 1. Received parts, checked part with ohm meter and it was the right on which is normally closed, installed it and started microwave and it crapped out, the switch. When I opened door the breaker tripped and when I checked it with meter it is stuck in the closed position. So this product is not good and only lasted 1 microwave cycle, junk and not worth my time to print out return and send back. I’m sure many others have done same, guess that’s one way for the company to make money!!!

Ordered both the normally open and the normally closed switches from this place - the normally closed one plugged right in. On the other hand, this one did NOT plug in at all. Not sure why one would work but the other one wouldn't (it looked almost exactly like the old switch, too).

I replaced one of my over-the- stove door microwave switches. It was tripping breakers all the time until I put in the new switch. I replaced it myself. Saved $215 by doing it myself.

Saved my mother inlaw almost $800 on a new over the range microwave by replacing this switch. Because it was bad and kept tripping the breaker. Took me less then 20min after watching a YouTube video.

Unfortunately, the switches weren't the problem. If you are looking for replacement parts for your microwave and have determined that these are the ones you need, you'll be fine with these.
