Troy November 01, 2013 for Model Number jvm3670sf02 No heat on microwave. Most likely it's the magnetron. But before ordering one, what should be the ohmic reading if there is no sign of crack or burn ? Please advice and thanks
Jodi November 01, 2013 for Model Number JVM1350BW002, LR9213275 We replaced the Magnatron on this microwave a couple of years ago. The part was under warranty when it was replaced, so we only paid installation. Does the replacement part carry any warranty if it is a GE part installed by a professional installer? Thanks.
Mike J August 21, 2013 for Model Number JVM1440WH04 Do I need to discharge the capacitor prior to replacing the magnitron? Where is it located? Thanks.
1 Answer Mike, You should always discharge the capacitor when working on a microwave. The capacitor is located on the right side of the unit inside the cabinet next to the magnetron. Read More...
Mike J August 21, 2013 for Model Number JVM1440WH04 What is the proper method to replace the magnetron?
1 Answer Hello Mike. You need to disconnect the power and uninstall the unit. Then remove the outer cover. You will then remove the wires from the magnetron and remove the nuts securing the unit to the cabinet. Remove the old and install the new in reverse order. Read More...
Gary May 21, 2013 for Model Number Jvm1860bd00 The microwave buzzes when ever you open the door, turn on the light or try to operate it. Turntable will not turn and will not heat. Had a part replaced years ago it was a wb27x10017. Could this be it again? And what does this part control? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Gary. No, either a door switch is bad or the control board is bad. Not the magnetron. 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...

Jim February 24, 2013 for Model Number RVM1325003 A metallic bread tie was accidentally left in the unit on top of the glass tray. The wire arced/sparked for 5-10 seconds before it was noticed and removed. The microwave worked once or twice afterword but now will only make a slightly louder humming noise than normal but no heating. Haven't removed case yet, but was wondering where to start, 1) Diode 2)Capacitor 3)HV transformer or 4)Magnetron. It seems that if all 4 components are bad it may be more cost effecive to just buy a new microwave.
1 Answer Hello Jim, You will more than likely need a new stirrer WB6X496 and you will want to check the magnetron magnet WB27X10735 for cracks. Read More...

Justin P. January 30, 2013 for Model Number JVM1850SH04 The microwave stopped heating so I was going to replace the magnetron. I have another GE microwave that the control board is damaged and I am wondering if I can use the magnetron from it. The part number on my current magnetron is WB27X10017, can I replace it with WB27X10880?
1 Answer Hello Justin. No, the 2 parts are not cross references according to the manufacture. Read More...
