Fensterlips August 26, 2024 for Model Number PES7227SL3SS This GE microwave is only a couple years old. It stopped heating food. It now has a lower frequency growl while the turntable turns. I tried buying a magnetron on Amazon but the order failed. The magnetron label says Toshiba 2M248J but the label has a next line that says OC14 and then 36 and then on the bottom of the label (MT) -B. Is my problem likely to be the magnetron? Are the other numbers critical to getting the right unit or only 2M248J? Thanks
1 Answer Fensterlips, unfortunately, the manufacturer does not list replaceable parts for the model number provided. However, a lower frequency growl can potentially be an issue within the transformer. Read More...
Martin May 22, 2024 for Model Number PVM9195SF3SS The microwave responds to all commands from panel but doesn’t heat food. On cook the fan comes on and the unit hums to life as normal but no heat is generated.(
1 Answer Martin, as there is not an abnormal noise, the magnetron WB27X11079 would need to be inspected for any damage. This would include the antenna. If the magnetron is not damaged, it is likely that the capacitor WB27X10011 has failed. Read More...
Eric April 17, 2023 for Model Number GE ZMC1095SF001 We came back to our home after being gone for some time and none of the buttons on the control pad would work. The reading on the unit says AUTO with three small words (enter, food and code) flashing. I tried to reset via the breaker and the word RESET appears initially and eventually AUTO with the three small flashing words reappears. None of the buttons on the control pad work at all. The unit seemed to work fine last time we were here. Appreciate any advice you might have.
1 Answer Eric, Two possible options here. Either the switch membrane or the control assembly and both are discontinued. WB27X10589, WB27X10575. Read More...
Peggy May 27, 2022 for Model Number HVM1750SM1SS The touchpad control only works on certain numbers and does not turn on the under microwave light. The numbers not responding are (2,3,4,6,7,8,9,0 Clock and light). Only vent, 1, 5 on 30 sec & stop work. I followed a YouTube video to check a few things but it did not work.
1 Answer Hello Peggy, You will need to replace the control panel WB07X11056. I'm sorry but this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Brad April 11, 2021 for Model Number JTP86SOH2SS I have a GE oven/ microwave in wall combo unit. Nether the oven or the microwave will heat. The fan runs continuously when the circuit breaker is on. When you try to start the oven, everything seems fine but it will not hear up. Neither element in the oven will heat. But the microwave will also not heat anything up. The buttons work, you press start, the turntable turns, but nothing heats up. What would possibly cause both things to stop working at the same time?
1 Answer Brad, Based on the information provided I would start by checking the incoming power, for the oven you can check at the control board from L1 (black wire) to the red wire on the DLB for 240vac and then each of those wires to N (white wire) for 120vac. Read More...
Leo October 24, 2020 for Model Number Sharp 651ZM Are parts available for this microwave? I cannot find Sharp. It has power but will not heat.
1 Answer Leo, This unit has a mandatory replacement instead of repair so the manufacturer will not list any parts. Read More...
Wayne December 16, 2019 for Model Number General Electric Microwave PEM31SM3SS No heat My microwave had a burning smell blowing out a fan vent on the bottom. Now that has stopped and everything continues to work except it does not heat food or beverage.
1 Answer Hello Wayne, likely a high voltage component, (diode, cap, magnetron tube, transformer ) has failed. To check, the microwave would have to be unplugged, unmounted, the outer case removed and the capacitor safety discharged, then check /test those components. Read More...
Barry February 02, 2019 for Model Number GE Profile Spacemaker xl1400 Still works great. However we can barely see the minutes and seconds anymore. Is there a way to change the lighting on the face of the control panel??
1 Answer Barry, there may be a way to adjust the lighting via an options menu. If you could provide a model number in a new inquiry, we would be able to accurately identify if adjustments are possible. Read More...
Ann V December 19, 2016 for Model Number GE Spacemaker XL Model JVM1650 My touch pad on the microwave does not respond/work when I touch a button. Is there a fuse that needs replacing? What is the problem?

Royal November 01, 2016 for Model Number samsung. SMH 1816S The microwave is lighting up you can hear fans working but it`s not heating. I would like to know the cause.
1 Answer Hello Royal. You most likely have a "high voltage" side malfunction. Transformer, diode, magnetron, Capacitor. You will need to be extremely careful if you decide to test the components with a multi meter, Very high residual voltage is present, so make sure you remove power to the microwave and short across the terminals on the capacitor. The magnetron should have a reading of less than 1 ohm resistance across the two terminals, and an "open" circuit between each terminal and chassis ground. The diode/rectifier should have a resistance reading in one direction only, no resistance, or resistance in both directions indicate a faulty diode. The primary winding on the trans former should read approximately 450 Ohms resistance, the secondary winding should read 80 ohms resistance, and the filament transformer should read 100 ohms resistance. If all the readings are proper and in range, replace the magnetron. Read More...
