Somewhat compatible with failed part.
The mounting holes have a different spacing than the original, the electrical connectors are a different size than those on the original. I used the mounting ring from the failed part and ordered 0.87 inch push on connectors. According to the part description it has the same electrical ratings as the original. We shall see.

Microwave went dead/no display
Took the cabinet off the microwave and checked for a fuse. Found that it was good, then checked for the voltage path to the controls and found the cavity thermal cut out was not conducting. Using a voltage meter to check things. Unplug the microwave for several of the tests. You must know how to work with electricity to do this. Installed

Microwave display showed nothing, no power.
Per the troubleshooting diagram inside the microwave oven, I discovered the one of the TCO was open (using Ohmmeter). Found my microwave oven model on PartSelect and used the diagram to select the TCO needed and placed order. Part came in three days, installed new TCO, reconnected wires and the microwave oven was back working in 10 minute

When running a burning plastic smell coming from the venting air.
Took the cover off (removed the five screws, two of which were security screws off the back) and found one connector on the thermal cut out with its shielding melted. Very easy swap out of the new cut out and we were up and running as if new.

while cooking a big dish of food, the microwave just stopped and went black
Fortunately, my brother-in-law suggested it might be the "cut out" switch. After unplugging the microwave, I opened it up and identified one of two cut outs and removed the wires from each side of the cut out. To test if that was the problem, I connected the two wires together, bypassing the cut out. When I plugged the unit back into t

I ordered the part and when it arrived, I removed it with a philips screw driver and replaced it with the new one.

Microwave Oven overheated
I thought I was setting the timer only on the microwave and accidently cooked an empty oven for 10 minutes. It was dead and I used the schematic and figured out the problem. Got the part and installed in 10 or less minutes. Oven is back in action.

Some smuck put a metal object in company microwave
Removed microwave from enclosure and removed cover, hoping it was as simple as a blown fuse. Found extremely helpful diagnostic sheet thoughtfully provided by manufacturer in an envelope affixed to top of cavity. Fuse was fine, but tracing the power feed into the machine revealed that the oven cavity thermostat was open--no continuity acr

Verified the issue by temporarily by-passing the blown thermostat to ascertain that the front panel display got power. It took longer to get the screws for the cover and enclosure back on than it did to replace the thermostat, once I received the replacement part. Microwave works just fine now, thanks!

Where are the thermal cutouts located? How can you change them
For model number jvm3160
Hi John,
Thank you for your inquiry. The fuse for your appliance should be located in the upper left hand section of the microwave. Before you begin any repair please unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet. To replace the thermal fuse, first open the microwave door and remove the screws securing the grill. Slide the grill to the left to release it. Next remove the screw on the left securing the control panel and loosen the screw behind the panel. Lift the panel up and move it forward to detach. Now remove the wires attached to the old thermal fuse. Unthread the mounting screw to release the fuse. Install the new fuse by aligning it on the base and secure it with the screws. Reattach the wires and install the control panel by securing with the screws. Insert the grill and slide it to the right to secure it and then reattach the screws. Close the door and plug the microwave back in. Your microwave should now work. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

The microwave overheated and did not reset. Should I replace the thermal switch and the fuse as I will have the oven open or just replace the thermal switch?
For model number ZEM200SF06
Hello David, thank you for contacting us. The issue is most probably related to the thermal switch, part number PS1993849. It is a safety device that shuts off the microwave if it overheats. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of help!
