William P Newton , NJ March 09, 2022 Appliance: General Electric Microwave PVM1870SM3SS 11 year old GE space saver microwave. No power. No display. Originally thought maybe a fuse but first thought to look on the internet. Found this website which was very helpful. Turned out the thermostat on top of the microwave was the problem. Ordered the thermostat and spares for the future. Replaced the thermostat and problem solved. This item is inside so the cover had to be removed. While removing the cover I found a wiring diagram inside the Display Module. It was helpful although I had to trace the wires to locate the thermostat. Turns out microwaves are not that complicated.

Richard S Lakewood , CA February 07, 2022 Appliance: General Electric Microwave JVM1750DM1WW While in use it stopped running I found a blown fuse and an open thermostat, which I ordered. The new thermostat tested open as well. I called AppliancePartsPros.com and they informed me that it was a "normally open" thermostat that would close and turn on a fan if the unit got too hot. So, I continued with the diagnosis and found an open diode and a shorted electrolytic capacitor. I was able to obtain those parts locally. With a new fuse, diode, and capacitor installed, the microwave was once again operational. I appreciate the technical support from Appliance Parts Pros.
