1 Answer Hello Eric, Vent Thermostat. This thermostat is normally open and closes if the area gets hot to automatically run the vent fan. The temps for close/open are stamped into the thermostat in Celsius (70/40). Read More...
Mike P May 27, 2022 for Model Number JVM1750SP2SS Is the GE Part# WB27X10166 Microwave Thermostat supposed to be open or closed circuit? Will it fit this model number?
1 Answer Mike, This thermostat WB27X10166 will be closed for continuity and is the correct one for your magnetron thermostat. Read More...
Satish April 22, 2022 for Model Number jvm6175ekes Display is on but microwave doesn't turn on, what should I look for. 2 fuses behind the control panel are good. Press 7 and 8 together I get 133 read out.
1 Answer Satish, With the display not turning on and the fuses being good, check to make sure that there is 120 Vac going to the board. If there is then this will be a faulty control board that will need to be replaced. Read More...
Satish Kumar April 22, 2022 for Model Number jvm6175ekes Cooling fan runs continously. Display panel is working but microwave doesn't turn on. Thermostats checked okay. What can I look for.
1 Answer Satish, With the fan continuously running, this would either be one of the thermostats behind the control panel being faulty or the relay on the control board is bad and will need to replace the control board. Read More...
Jeff October 26, 2021 for Model Number JMV8000ADB Lower bulb (hood) burnt out. Unplugged and replaced. Turned on and heard a POP. Both bulbs burnt out now. Removed and put in my spare bulb. Light will not turn on. Microwave and blower work. Did notice turn table doesn't spin now. Any idea. Thank you
1 Answer Jeff, Check the door switches to make sure that they are good and if they are then this will most likely be an issue with the control board. Read More...
Mike October 13, 2021 for Model Number FMV124KS3 I was able to determine that all switches and fuses were good except for the magnatrone thermal cutout fuse which no longer has continuity. The fuse is PW-2R 8292. Im trying to locate an equivilant withthe correct temp rating cutoff. (130-150 deg?) Hopefully you have a recommended replacement for this Frigidaire Microwave. Thank you in advance for your help. Mike
1 Answer Mike, We are unable to locate the model number listed. Please verify that this is the correct model number so that we can assist properly with your question. If this is the correct model then it appears that the manufacturer does not offer any parts for the model. Read More...
Michael September 04, 2021 for Model Number CVM517P2M1S1 My microwave runs but doesn’t heat. I replaced the magnetron and diode but no change. I tested the capacitor, transformer, door switches and thermal fuses, all good. Is there anything left to check?
1 Answer Michael, based on the information provided, the failure would likely be in the main control WB27X29754. Read More...
Jim February 05, 2021 I have a GE microwave model JVM6175EF1ES no power to unit checked breaker ok power to plug ok what can be the problem
1 Answer Jim, the bottom right thermal cut-off WB21X10162 behind the control, the magnetron thermal cut-off WB20X10061, and the noise filter WB02X11200 would need to be tested for continuity when the power supply cord is unplugged from the outlet. These three items should have continuity when tested. If not, the failed part would need to be replaced. If they have continuity, it would be likely that the main control WB27X11080 has failed.

Sammy January 25, 2021 for Model Number JVM7195SK1SS GE Microwave I have a GE microwave less than two years old, the power in my town went out and then when it came back on my Microwave didn't work AT ALL ! no lights on the the display NOTING, I checked the house breaker box and the outlets and they all have electricity and working fine, inside the microwave all fuses checked out okay, the only question is the thermo switch (WB27X709) doesn't have continuity in it, is that an open or closed circuit? and if thats not the problem what else am I looking at? I just hope it's not the board. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Sammy, that thermostat is normally open at room temperature , it closes on temperature rise to power the exhaust blower independently of the control board to protect the underside/door/control panel of the microwave. Unfortunately, the control board which is always on as long as the microwave is plugged in to power may have been damaged by the possible power spike/surge on the mains power coming back on, the control board is part WB27X30632.

Tom January 03, 2021 for Model Number JVM6175DF1WW My microwave was having intermittent power on/power off problems. Main fuse is OK. I could sometimes get it to power back on by opening and shutting the door which lead me to believe the problem was the the door switches. Now no power at all. I tested the switches according to instructions I found online and they check out OK so, I moved on to the fuses mounted on the bottom behind the panel. The fuse on the left (I'm not sure if that is a termostat) has no continuity, the one on the right has continuity, next I checked the fuse on top of the magnetron, it has continuity. Could the fuse/thermostat with no continuity which is marked ksd-40lc 70 be the problem, if not, any idea where to go next?
1 Answer Tom, the left thermostat on this model is going to read normally open for continuity until it reaches a certain temperature as it is used to automatically turn the blower vent on to protect the controls. Based on the information provided, it would be recommended that the main control WB27X11080 is tested for 120VAC to identify if it is receiving proper voltage. If it is, then it has failed and would need to be replaced. Read More...
