Jay for Model Number General Electric Model HVM1540LM2CS microwave oven I have a question about my GE HVM1540LM2CS microwave oven. It is about 5 years old. It worked for about 3 years with no problems, but then started blowing its internal 20 amp fuse intermittently. The first time that I replaced the fuse, it lasted for well over a year. The second time 2 weeks, the third time 3 mos., etc. I have had a new fuse in there for a few days now and it is working, but for how long, I don't know. The oven is on a dedicated circuit breaker which has never tripped (just the internal fuse blows). The fuse does not blow when the door is opened/closed. It seems to blow during operation or within, say, around 30 seconds or more of operation (it varies) or even at the end of the cook cycle. Could this be an HV diode problem? The oven gets fairly light use so I don't believe that it is an HV capacitor problem or a magnetron/transformer issue. When working, it works fine and heats well. Any ideas?
Answer Hello Jay. It sounds like one of the door switches or the door latch is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, December 4, 2013
