This part, in conjuntion with the diode and capacitor, can increase voltage from primary to very high in a short period of time and it converts that high voltage into waves of cooking energy.
The Power Cord has a breaker on the plug. The breaker did not 'trip' during a power surge and fried the board in the plug. it melted. I ordered the replacement plug. Took apart the unit. Unplugged the power cord ends from the main unit. The ground wire (green) is screwed in. The other wires (white and black) are attached via push-on terminals. These are harder to get off and on since there are many and are in a tight space. May want to use some long needle nose pliers to assist. The new cable was attaced. There are two plastic clamps that help screw the cord to the unit. Only porblem was the new cord plugs in upside down so you will need to turn the outlet plug around. Turn off power, unscrew outlet and turn upside down. return power to outlet and plug in to complete.
I called the company that I purchased this product from and they gave me the part number that I needed and said to contact GE. I found you on the website and it was so very easy to order these replacement filters. Thank you for making this so easy.
