GE Microwave Damper Assembly WG02F05334, Replaces 253602603184, WB06X10938, WB38M00612

Genuine OEM GE damper assembly used in the ventilation or airflow system of select GE over-the-range microwave models. The part regulates exhaust airflow and helps prevent backdrafts.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Weak or ineffective ventilation during vent-fan operation
• Rattling or flapping noise from the exhaust area
• Damper flap stuck open or closed
• Cold air or drafts entering through the microwave when the vent is off
• Visible warping, cracking, or damage to the damper flap

Check Before Replacing

• With the microwave and vent fan turned off, observe the damper area if accessible and check for obvious obstruction, warping, or a flap that is visibly stuck.
• Run the vent fan and verify that airflow is present at the exterior exhaust outlet; poor airflow can also be caused by ducting, filters, or the exterior cap, so do not attribute the symptom to the damper alone.
• Listen for abnormal rattling or repeated flapping from the damper during vent-fan operation.
• After disconnecting electrical power and only if the model’s service instructions provide access, inspect whether the damper flap moves freely without forcing it or disassembling the assembly.

Pro Tip

Part Details

Key Features

• Genuine OEM GE microwave damper assembly
• Part-specific ventilation component for select GE over-the-range microwaves
• Controls airflow in the microwave exhaust system
• Designed to help reduce unwanted backdrafts when the vent is not operating

Installation Notes

• Disconnect electrical power before accessing or replacing the damper assembly.
• Verify the appliance model and the old part’s orientation before installation; the damper must align with the microwave exhaust path.
• Inspect the duct connection and exterior exhaust opening for blockage before closing the installation area.
• After installation, operate the vent fan and confirm that airflow is directed through the intended exhaust path and that the damper does not rattle or bind.
