WB06X10638 General Electric Microwave Range Canopy Mica

Microwave Range Canopy Mica is a component used in various GE appliances, including brands such as Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore. This OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part is specifically designed for GE built-in microwaves. It is situated above the magnetron tube inside the microwave and serves as a protective barrier. The mica sheet helps shield the microwave’s internal components from the heat produced during cooking.

Over time, the canopy mica may wear out due to continuous exposure to high temperatures and occasional contact with moisture and food splatters. Common signs that the canopy mica needs replacement include malfunctioning or overheating of the microwave’s control area, visible damage like discoloration, cracks, or warping on the mica surface, and potential harm to other heat-sensitive parts inside the microwave.

Replacing the canopy mica with this GE OEM part can help maintain the microwave's functionality and protect its internal electronics. It is also compatible with certain models from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.
