Jeff D Yarmouth , ME November 18, 2017 Appliance: General Electric Microwave PEB1590DM1WW No power none at all completely dead GE Microwave/Convection Oven. Removed case (carefully). Tested in-line power cord fuse with multi-meter. Fuse was good. Noticed a scorch mark on a wire connected to the oven cavity thermal fuse. The fuse appeared to have been overheated from too much movement in it's mount. Removed part from unit and used number on the part to order a new one. Installed new part, re-assembled, and unit works fine. Read More... 26 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
Robert U Montclair , NJ October 02, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Free Standing Microwave SCA1001HSS01 No power two out of three thermo devices were bad With no power in the unit I started to investigate. I removed the power cord and checked the supply. Then I removed a few panels from the unit. The parts are readily accessible and the wiring diagrams on the computer are very helpful. I removed the wires from each device and the probed the devices. I ordered the parts from Appliance Parts Pros online and they shipped the parts in less than one day!

Bryan O Fruit Heights , UT March 21, 2017 Microwave was completely dead Checked all of the external power sources - all good. Had to be a fuse. Main fuse was fine, tested the thermal fuses with multimeter and found this one was bad. Part was 2-3 weeks out locally, APP had it. Ordered 8:00pm Friday and it was here Saturday afternoon. Amazing! Put it in and it works. Saved a $100 service call(plusparts and the return call) or an $800 microwave replacement. Thanks for the quick response!
