Tom B Garden City , ID March 15, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Microwave JE2160BF01 Microwave stopped heating food I went online to specifically check for resolution to problem. I found out the most common problem was a bad magnetron and diode. I then watched a couple youtube videos on the repair process. I entered model # of microwave at the Appliance Parts Pros website and was able to order exact parts. The APP site had excellent schematics for exact location of parts in microwave. I followed those and fixed microwave! The wife was amazed! Read More... 9 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Screwdrivers, Socket Set
Charles M Camarillo , CA November 20, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Free Standing Microwave JE2160SF03 Microwave wouldnt heat Because the megaton cost more than half the cost of a new microwave, I bought a countertop GE unit that was suppose to go into my built in cabinets. Guess what, GE says this microwave was for countertop only. So I ordered the parts and within an hour, I had my 8 year old unit working again, slid it into the mounting trim and kept the kitchen looking the way it looked after the remodel a few years ago. This was easier than I thought and the you tube videos available prevented errors in the repair. I did find the magnetron a little cheaper but delivery was 5-7 days away. I got the parts in less than 1 day from ordering from UPS. I have used Appliance Pros several times and am extremely pleased at the service. Always check for what I need here before I look elsewhere, but end up getting it here.

Alan T Concord , CA April 19, 2020 Appliance: Model GE JE2160SF01 After replacing fuse HV diode and all 4 door switches, cup of water was still not getting hot enough. Original HV Diode (from another vendor) was suspect and packaging was previously opened. Ordered new diode and magnetron on Sat and it arrived the following Tues afternoon. The microwave was 15+ years old, built-in and saw a lot of use from prior homeowner. Installed new diode and magnetron within 15 minutes, tested it and reinstalled in cabinets with face plate.
