Customer Questions and Answers for Fuse by Ge

Hello Angela, This is normally caused by the cavity thermostat WB27X10195 or the control board WB27X10871.

Hello Dan. You will need to replace the touch pad on the unit.

Hello Todd. You will need to check the door switches and see if they are bad and need to be replaced on 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

Hello Mick. Just remove the outer cover off the microwave. Then you can remove and replace the fuse in the unit. Make sure it is unplugged.

Anna, The most common cause of a microwave not heating would be a bad magnetron. There are other factors that could cause this like the diode, transformer or a bad capacitor but the magnetron is the most common.

Hello Donald. 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.

G Mayberry, You will want to test the magnetron for a resistance of less than 1 ohm and if it is not then the magnetron would be the issue.

Alfred, You will want to check the magnetron on the unit for resistance of less than 1 ohm. If the resistance is open or more than 1 ohms then you will need to replace the magnetron.

Hello Kay, You can clean the ribbon cable from the touchpad with some dis-assembly. When ithas been removed from the connector on the main board you can rub it with a dry pencil eraser only toward the end of the ribbon, (do not go back and forth, one direction only), to prevent damage to the traces on the ribbon. To access, disconnect power to the microwave, remove the two screws and remove the air grille. You will then see a single screw on the right above the control panel. Removing this screw will enable you to lift and remove the control panel.
