Review on πŸ”Œ 16A 125VAC Microwave Oven Door Switch Replacement Part, KW3AT-16, Normally Open - 1 Piece by Tim Crowder

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Would recommend, great price for replacement switches. Installed in JVM3160DF3WW

My door had 3 switches and needed this combo pack plus an additional black switch with contacts close together (normally open). At one point, my microwave door switch blew. After disassembling and looking for switches I found that one of them had blown. I tried replacing the switches with others found on another site and this switch also burned out immediately (these burnouts appear to have occurred when the door was opened while the microwave was running, so possibly a different component came out). I bought this 2 pack and another black one. Replaced all 3 and it works. I am very happy to find an alternative to major parts suppliers that list comparable switches with OEM part numbers for over $40 plus you pay shipping on top of that and it takes weeks to ship. The relatively simple installation process takes about 20 minutes if you don't know what you're doing and requires fiddling with. Walk slowly so you don't break anything, and take photos along the way so you know how to put it back together.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Very expensive
