Default GE microwave started humming and tripped fuse now completely out
Model Number: JVM1870SK03   Brand: GE   Age: 1 - 5 years

My 2 year old GE microwave started making a humming sound and then it tripped the fuse and turned off. Fixed the fuse and turned it back on when it made a popping noise and completely shut down. The outlet is functioning but the microwave is completely dead. Read in a forum that it could be the fuses. Should I try to replace the fuses or call for repair?

Very possible the problem is a shorted out high voltage capacitor, caused the fuse to blow out. You have to have a simple multimeter to perform the troubleshooting. Let us know if you are ready to go.
