Nc Ge Owner August 28, 2020 for Model Number JVM1540SM5SS Unit used to beep when cooking on stove top. Went to defrost mode. Unplugged and later unit worked fine. Got a keyboard error so installed new keypad. Now LED works, lights, fan but will not heat. Could more than one part go bad at the same time keypad, control board and/or magnetron.
1 Answer NC GE Owner, If the control is able to be programmed but will not heat it would be recommended to test the door switches on the unit. Read More...
Terry February 20, 2020 for Model Number JVM1540DM4WW What is the part number for the smart board for this unit? This GE microwave does not respond to any button. The message panel does not light. The fan does not come on. Everything stopped at once with no warning. All functions worked fine before unit quit. Power source is ok. Circuit breaker is on and ok. I noticed what looked like a connection failure at the upper left corner of the display. The clear plastic housing of the display is darkened on the inside by a black 3/8" diameter area that extends around the side. It looks to me like the dark area was caused by heat at a failed electrical connection or possibly by heat during assembly. The complete lack of the microwave' function accompanied by this dark area in the display of the smart board causes me to think that the smart board may be the problem. Am I correct? If I am, please send me the part number for the smart board for a GE model JVM1540DM4ww microwave. Thanks for any answer that you send me. Terry
1 Answer Terry, The smartboard on this unit will be WB27X10931 but would suggest testing the fuse in the unit as it would be the most likely issue followed by the control board. Read More...
Odell Sewell January 28, 2019 for Model Number JVM1540SM4SS Good day when I plug my microwave up a massage come up in the control panel saying "Service may be needed' and a lot of times it just beeps. Do you think ill need a Smart Board and a Panel Control? Can you advice Thanks Odell
1 Answer Odell, With the unit beeping it sounds as though the control panel will be the issue. Read More...

Mahesh July 12, 2015 for Model Number JNM1541DM4BB, GE counter top Microwave The schematic and the wiring drawing (found rolled behind the control panel) and actual information on control PCB do not match. The relay reference numbers, screen printed operating function do not match. On the boards and wiring to the control board. The microwave had stopped working, no display, after smoke from counter top. The three TCO, as per circuit diagram, Bottom TCO, Hood TCo and Cavity TCO replace, all TCO are in "closed" condition. All the functions of microwave are ok, except the vent fan is always running at "slow" speed. The vent fan speed changes to "High" and "Low", but never "OFF". Thank you in advance. Mahesh
1 Answer Mahesh, With the vent fan never shutting off then the issue will be caused by a faulty control board relay which the control board would need replaced. The part number for the control board is WB27X10931. Read More...
Wirelessmind July 10, 2014 for Model Number JVM1870SF02 The active hidden vent cover which normally opens and closes when the microwave is in operation, no longer open or close when the microwave is in operation. I'm not experiencing an other problems or issues other than this specific problem.
1 Answer Wireless mind, The most common cause for the activent to not open would be that the motor has failed. To test this you would want to check the motor at the start and see if there is 120 vac. If not then the issue would be the smart board and if there is 120 vac then the motor is faulty and would need replaced. Read More...
Gw June 27, 2012 for Model Number JVM1540SM2SS Everything Works On The Microwave Except The Surface Light. Bulbs Are Ok. I Was Told That The Problem Is Most Likely In The Circuit Board. Sparks Flew When Owner Tried To Change Bulbs. What Circuit Board To I Need? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello GW. If the board is bad, you will need to replace the smart board WB27X10931 on the unit. Read More...
Eric June 25, 2012 for Model Number JVM1540LM1CS The light bulb burnt out on this GE microwave(for the stove top lighting). I replaced the bulb...now the light just stays on, I can not adjust the brightness or turn it off. I tried unplugging for 5 minutes and letting it restart...no dice. Every other function button is operating properly, except the light button. Is there any way to fix, other than purchasing a whole new smart panel ?? Thanks!
1 Answer Hi Eric. Remove the top grill, and control panel top plate. This will give access to the top control panel mount screw. Remove this screw and lift up and out to access the wiring diagram and tech sheet. This will guide you in the component checks. Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. You need to see if the control panel(keypad) is inoperative. Or if the ribbon cable going to the control board part # WB27X10931 is bad. It comes with the keypad. You use the ohm meter on the end of the keypad ribbon cable and press the bad keypad keys to see if they are opening or closing. If the ribbon cable is good then focus on the lamp relay yellow wire output from the board 120 volts to ground. If you do not get the output on this wire then replace the smart board. Thank You.

Justin S. November 09, 2011 for Model Number HVM1540LN1CS Is the smart board the board I need to replace if it will not do anything. I checked the fuse and it is good
1 Answer Hello Justin. Check and make sure the filter board WB27X10519 is sending power to the smart board. If not, you will need to replace the filter board. If so, you will replace the smart board WB27X10931. 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...
James August 22, 2011 for Model Number JVM1540DN1BB Some of the key pad functions are not working(Clear,AM/PM,Turn Table,Surface Light,Vent fan)?
1 Answer Hello James. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control panel WB07X11008 is bad and will need to be replaced. Make sure the ribbon cable is clean and is seated good on the smart board. If so, and some buttons does not work, replace the control panel. Hope this helps. Read More...
