Mari April 29, 2017 for Model Number GE PEB2060SM1SS Where can i fine the fuse on the micro wave for replacement?
1 Answer Hello Mari. You will need to remove the outer cover off the microwave to access and replace the fuse on the unit. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Clem, You would use an ohm meter to test for zero resistance through the resistor. If no continuity through the fuse, the fuse is open and will require replacement. Read More...
Martin April 09, 2017 for Model Number JVM1540DM2WW The stove does function. But even after a hard reset of unplugging/replugging, the panel goes wacky, ending up stuck where you can't get out of an auto defrost query. No button will reset this, including soft reset.
1 Answer Martin, This issue would be a faulty control that is causing the unit to freeze up and not do anything. Read More...
Keyur February 20, 2017 for Model Number PVM1870SM1SS I replaced this fuse with one I found from home depot (bossman brand). But as soon as I start microwave, it is blowing off that fuse again. Any advice what else could be wrong?
1 Answer Hello Keyur. You will need to check the door switches and make sure they are good. If so, then you have a high voltage issue with the unit. 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...
Mike February 06, 2017 for Model Number JVM2070SH001 Power went off on our street. When it came back on microwave seemed to work but wasn't heating anymore. Everything works just no heat please help
1 Answer Mike, You will want to test the magnetron for less than 1 ohm of resistance. If this is not correct then the issue will be a faulty magnetron. Also test the capacitor. If these check ok then the issue will likely be cause by a faulty control board. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Abea. There is a board located in the top of the microwave called the filter board. The fuse is located on the board WB27X10519. Read More...
Matt H January 02, 2017 for Model Number SCB2001CSS03 I have a SCB2001CSS03 that seemed to be stinking with a plastic smell that just won't go away. Like a bad cap going bad. I did pop open the unit and took a good look around but did not find anything burnt but that the large blower motor, the one close to the door switches, was dirty. There are two blows to the motor and the one closest to the door was dusty and the one toward the back was more gummy residue and had the smell of the burning smell. I tried to clean all of the fins of the blowing plastics. I removed the blower motor to see what was under it and found the housing for the TCO and humidity fuses. The area was also gummy. The humidity fuse looked a little gummy and cleaned it. The only thing else was the breather holes from the cooking area. They were a little gummed up and I cleaned that. After all of that, I put everything together and did a microwave test. A half a second after I did a express micro, the unit went dead. I opened it up again and found a fuse assembly chard on the red-white wire. The wire lead to the black wire going to the door switch and a yellow wire going to the lamp in the back of the microwave (not the halogen lamps). At this time, I am buy a fuse and fuse assembly. Have any idea what might be happening? Thanks, Matt H
1 Answer Matt, It is possible that the wire was starting to go bad and when it got cleaned off this could have caused the wire to fail in which it takes out the fuse and the holder. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Jim. The part needed to repair the unit WB27X10655 has been permanently discontinued by the manufacturer and we don't know of any source or replacement for the part. Read More...
Doug November 22, 2016 for Model Number JVM1650BB001 I had placed a small bowl of vegetables in microwave oven and there was a quick one-second snap. I shut the microwave down and restarted it. The microwave turned on but did not heat the vegetables after attempting twice. I put a coffee cup with water and tried to heat that, to no avail. Microwave operates but does not heat. Could this be the fuse or capacitator?
1 Answer Hello Doug. 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...
