Glen K El Cajon , CA December 13, 2014 Appliance: Model GE PROFILE JE1860SB 002 No power to anything This GE Microwave oven is no longer being manufactured and was installed along with a $300 trim kit, so I really didn't want to change out the unit since the trim kit is proprietary. Disassembled microware, looked at the schematic attached to the inside of the unit, made sure capacitor was discharged. Checked the flame sensor and diode- they tested bad when tested with volt/ohm meter. Ordered parts- they came two days later. Replaced flame sensor and diode. Panel powered up. Still no power to magnetron. Had to remove oxidation on low voltage side of transformer terminals where wires attached. Reattached the wires to the transformer Then magnetron started humming, and heated water. Reassembled unit and re-enstalled.

Richard M Athens , GA September 27, 2020 There was no power to my ge microwave unit I checked the fuse and it was ok. I also checked the thermostat flame/sensor and it was bad. I ordered a replacement thermostat sensor and fuse (just in case the one in the unit was bad). The parts came the next day and I replaced the thermostat sensor and plugged the microwave into the electrical outlet. Everything worked. Read More...
