Larry July 16, 2013 for Model Number GE microwave JES1146 unit dead, no light, no display, electric outlet is OK, tried 3 second hold, plug and unplug, fuse OK, no cont on sensor PW2,could that be problem?
1 Answer Larry, Yes, there are several "sensors" in most microwave ovens. They are usually a "one shot" fuse like component mounted to various areas of the microwave (cavity, magnetron tube, etc. If for any reason one of these sensors "opens" it does eliminate power to the unit and it goes "dead". The manufacturer, does not have a parts list or service wiring diagram listed for the partial model number you supplied. It may be a "licensed" product, produce by another company, under the GE name. You may have to contact the manufacturer for proper or more information, since sensors are safety devices. Read More...
Bob December 03, 2011 for Model Number GE JES1351WB 01 When flame sensor gets tripped is it truely need replaced or can I just bypass it? It really seems just as a saftey device which is not really necessary.
1 Answer Hello Bob. If the flame sensor WB24X26575 is bad, it will need to be replaced. Do not bypass the flame sensor. Hope this helps. Read More...
Dennis November 07, 2011 for Model Number JE1860GB002 I get no ohm reading on my sensor. Is this what I should get. My unit was working fine last night, but this AM nothing. No display at all. Tried the reset (hold clear/stop for 3 + seconds) but nothing. Seem to have power to all other plugs in the unit.
1 Answer Hello Dennis. Yes, the flame sensor WB24X26575 should read closed for continuity. Also, test and make sure the fuse WB27X10928 is good in the unit as well. Hope this helps. Read More...
