Mike October 12, 2012 for Model Number zsc1001 There is no power on the microwave(no display). I've reset the circuit breaker but that didn't fix the problem. Is it the fuse? If so, how do I get to it? Thank you for your time. Mike
1 Answer Hello Mike. You need to test the fuse and see if it reads closed for continuity. You need to remove the outer cover of the unit to access the fuse. Make sure it is unplugged before doing any repair on the unit and keep in mind microwaves are very dangerous with high voltage inside them. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Paul C July 07, 2012 for Model Number JVM1660WB 001 I was cooking something, heard a buzz, and microwave went dead. I replaced the fuse (AP2631556). Lights came on and I set the clock. Tried to heat up some water in a cup. Microwave lasted 2 seconds before it went dead again. What should I check next? Any ideas?
1 Answer Hi Paul. It sounds like your magnetron has shorted. Remove it and inspect the tip to see if it is blown apart. Look at the side upper and lower magnets to see if they are cracked. The new one comes in a kit that includes the diodes and the stirrer plate assy. Be careful not to get crossed into the capacitor terminals as it stores voltage and is a safety concern. The magnetron kit is part # WB49X10226. You will need to sand to clean metal and use the microwave touch-up paint part # TJ98QBP0300 on all shorted cabinet surfaces. Thank You. Read More...
Bill T. June 08, 2012 for Model Number JVM 1630WB 004 I just received a new fuse for my GE Micro but I still have no power. Are there two fuses or is there another problem?
1 Answer Hello Bill, There is a thermostat WB27X10195 halfway across the top of the unit mounted on top of the cooking compartment. It's normally called a cavity thermostat. This prevents over-temperatures in the cavity. If I remember correctly, both wires to it are black. You remove the vent across the top front of the unit and it is accessed from the front. Be aware that the thermostat cannot be bypassed without creating a fire hazard. Also, make sure the unit is unplugged before touching it as there is 120Vac on one side of this thermostat at all times even if it is open. Read More...
Mike Plasha June 02, 2012 for Model Number jvm1540 ge micro wave would this fuse stop the magnetron tube from working, evertthing seems to work but the cooking does not cook and what is the tube i need or can you send dia. to repair this unit
1 Answer Mike, the WB27X10928 isn't the issue, were it open the microwave would be "dead" and nothing would work. it could be an open thermostat WB21X10148 or magnetron WB27X10927. You didn't supply a complete model number, but we'll be sending you the information you are asking for. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Gilbert M. April 16, 2012 for Model Number GE spacemaker 2.0 JVM2070SK02 I heard a loud pop and then my microwave did not work. Even circuit breaker (kichen side) was off. Can I fix it or do I buy the exact same model to use the microwave with oven as one set for the ventilation ?
1 Answer Hi Gilbert. Remove the cover. I would use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist. you in your diagnosis. In line after the power cord there is a fuse part # WB27X10928. The ohm meter on the R x 1 scale, the fuse will read 0-ohms good. It will read infinity (too large of a reading) - open. As you have it open carefully look for black shorted areas where the part failed and shorted to ground. Do not touch the capacitor as it is charged electrically (DEADLY). Look at the control board. Part # WB27X10900. There is a noise filter/ fuse board part # WB02X11244. It has 2- fuses.Thank You. Read More...
Chip February 18, 2012 for Model Number JVM1661WB001 Greetings. Both of my lights blew out on the bottom of the microwave. When I went to unscrew them, they were both stuck, and the bulbs came out without the metal base. But, the first one sparked when it came loose. So I unplugged the oven and attempted once again to remove the base. I broke the socket on the first one. I replaced the socket with a GE factory part and bought new bulbs, being careful to not screw them in too tight. They do not work. I see from the schematic that there is a fuse on the circuit board. Everything else on the oven works as it should. I am afraid I roasted the circuit that lights the bulbs. Intuition tells me that the fuse does not only control the lights... Please tell me I am wrong.
1 Answer Hi Chip. Your power for the lights are from the main control board part # WB49X20238. In this area you will access a wiring diagram that is folded in a packet. Make sure that you check the complete circuit wire and connectors as you go back to the control board. Make sure they are not pinched and the connectors are clean and tight, not burnt. Thank You.

Pete February 01, 2012 for Model Number JVM2070SH01 My unit is dead. No lights, no fan no control panel. Nothing at all works. Check power outlet and it is good. Could it be the fuse? If so, how to I get to it. Can I access it through bottom panel? Do I have to take it off the wall? Please help. Model #JVM2070SH01 thank you so much!
1 Answer Hello Pete. Yes, if the fuse WB27X10928 is bad, it will cause the problem you are having. You will need to remove the outer cover off the microwave to access and replace the fuse on the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Chip P December 29, 2011 for Model Number JVM3670SK01 Can you please tell me how to take the front cover off my spacesaver microwave? I need to access the fuse. thank you!
1 Answer Hello Phip. If you can access the screws securing the front grill, then you can replace the fuse by removing the grill and the control panel. If not, you will need to uninstall the microwave and remove the outer cover to access the fuse WB27X10928. Hope this helps. Read More...
Chip P December 29, 2011 for Model Number JVM3670SK01 I turned the surface light on this morning and it blew. Then when I tried to warm up food, the turntable and fan dont come on, but the vent fan works, the magnetron seems to run, and all the control panel features work. Would a blown fuse explain this?
1 Answer Hello Chip. You will need to check and see if the door switch WB24X829 or WB24X830 is bad and needs to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Angie S. November 04, 2011 for Model Number JVM1870SK04 I was baking a sweet Potato in my Microwave and the potato caught fire, I took the potato out of the mircowave and now the mircoave is dead no clock, nothing is working. Can you tell me what is wrong?
1 Answer Hello Angie. You will need to test the thermostats WB27X10810, WB27X1127, WB27X10166, and WB27X10194. They should read closed for continuity. If they are good, you may have a bad gas sensor WB24X799 on the unit. If any of these are bad, they will cause the problems you are having with the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.
