Sat October 23, 2021 for Model Number PEB9159SJ1SS My Microwave is not heating and also turning table in not rotating . I can change the Magnetron , what others things I need to check? Any help is much appreciated! -Sat
1 Answer Sat, Thanks for the question!!! The door switches are the best place to start when encountering a heat-related issue with a microwave. Use your wiring diagram to determine which are open and which is closed and test for continuity. The microwave will have two WB24X10146 and one WB24X10190. Read More...
Robert Hughes April 14, 2020 for Model Number PVM1790SR1SS Unit works 100%. However, just today the 2011-mfg product will hum loudly when the door is closed. Turned off breaker for 1min+ and unit showed a cold restart. Closing the door again made the unit hum. Fan (both vent and internal units) sounds good, turntable works (note: turntable has been non-smooth in rotation with some small binding sounds). All buttons work properly. All timings and apparently power levels work properly. Do you have any ideas? I am an old heavy ground radar technician and IT consultant so I know my way around such machines, however, the 60Hz hum almost sounds like power leaking (transformer primary on? but Maggie would start up wouldn't it?).
1 Answer Robert, If you are getting a humming when the door is closed then this will most likely be caused by a faulty door switch. This would be what would need to be tested and replaced if faulty. Read More...
Leonard March 02, 2020 for Model Number GE microwave oven # PEB7226SF1SS I start to warm food or anything & there are sparks & growling noise coming from top right side of oven, thank you in advance
1 Answer Hello Leonard, to check this , unplug the microwave from power, then reach inside the oven and remove the waveguide cover on the right side, carefully inspect the antenna of the magnetron tube and the duct sidewalls for arc marks. If just on the antenna then the magnetron tube WB27X10682 is replaceable, if on the duct walls the microwave is not repairable. Read More...
Dave February 25, 2020 for Model Number ec942k9e This convection/microwave unit is installed in a 2017 Montana R.V. During the last 20 seconds (or so) of a cycle, the unit makes a loud "buzzing" sound (when using the microwave only setting). The food/liquid inside gets hot and the unit seems to be working okay-any ideas on what could be going wrong?
1 Answer Dave, Unfortunately, we do not have any technical information on this unit to be able to assist with your question. Read More...
1 Answer Meresie, The most likely cause for the unit shutting completely off after 10 to 15 seconds would be a faulty control board WB27X10833. Read More...
Scott January 13, 2016 for Model Number ze2160 sfo5 Microwave not working. keypad seemed to work so I ordered the circuit board. Same issue. Ordered a new keypad that happened to come with a circuit board. Same issue. All key pad buttons work, but all I hear is a click and the clock counts down as normal, but no sound from the magnetron. Any suggestions??
1 Answer Hello Scott. You have a bad door switch. You will need to test them to see which one is bad. 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...

Mark September 30, 2014 for Model Number Je2160sf01 Keypad went blank so I changed fuse. Worked for a couple of days then fuse blew again?????
1 Answer Hello Mark. You will need to check the door switches and see if any of them are bad. If so, they will blow the fuse. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
