Default Microwave Temp Cutouts: KSD201 vs KSD301 ??

My second GE Sensor Microwave oven just bit the big one.

This time, I had enough sense to check the fuses and thermostats.

Sure enough, found something at the top inside the case called a
"KSD201/PPS"... it's a normally-closed cutout switch that opens up/cuts
out at 120F.

Resistance test = infinite ohms, jumper around it and the oven works.

But trying to find a replacement is not going well.

OTOH, I come up with a lot of KSD301.... hits and, besides looking the
same, the spec seems tb the same (cutout @120F).

Are these two interchangeable, or am I missing something?
