Jose L Timnath , CO October 02, 2016 Appliance: Model GE PT970SR2SS Lost power to the microwave no display oven still worked I have one of those combo units with the microwave on top and the oven on the bottom. The thermometer switch located on the upper right side mounted on top of the magnetron read open on a continuity test. Replaced the thermal fuse. Everything works fine now. Note: The thermal switch on the left side read closed, the fan switch on the lower right side read open. I just watched some youtube videos on what and how to test the components.

The hardest part was figuring out if the switches should read open or closed.
