GE Microwave PSU Drawer DPWBFB298MRU2 — No Power, Dead Microwave | Certified Refurbished
When your GE microwave goes completely dead — no display, no response, no power — the PSU drawer is the most likely culprit. A failed power supply unit cuts all power to the control board and magnetron, leaving the appliance completely non-functional. Certified refurbished part DPWBFB298MRU2 has been professionally inspected, tested, and restored to deliver reliable power delivery at a fraction of the cost of a new OEM unit.

- Sold as: Single unit
- Skill Level: Intermediate — high-voltage component, requires caution
- First step: Unplug the microwave and allow the capacitor to discharge fully before opening the cabinet (minimum 30 minutes, or discharge manually with a resistor)
- ⚠ High Voltage Warning: Microwave capacitors can retain lethal charge even when unplugged. Do not touch internal components until the capacitor is confirmed discharged
- Remove the outer cabinet, locate the PSU drawer assembly, disconnect all wiring harnesses, and slide the drawer out
- Install the refurbished unit in reverse order, ensuring all connectors are fully seated
- Restore power and test all microwave functions before reassembling the cabinet
- Estimated time: 30–60 minutes (including capacitor discharge wait)
Before replacing the PSU drawer, verify the door interlock switches are functioning — a failed door switch can mimic a dead power supply by preventing the unit from energizing at all. Door switches are inexpensive and should be ruled out before committing to a PSU replacement. If the door switches test good and the unit is still completely dead, the PSU drawer is the next logical replacement.
