Unhappy GE Mircrowave - Surface Lights Do Not Work
Model Number: JVM1460BA01   Brand: GE   Age: 5 - 10 years   

I have a GE microwave model JVM1460BA01 -- One of the light blubs was burned out and when I attempted to remove the bad blub, the glass broke away from the metal screw housing. In the process of removing the metal housing (and failing to turn off the circuit breaker), something short circuited...Both light blubs have been replaced, and the microwave is heating just fine, but the lights will not operate. Would it be possible that the smartboard AP2026041 replacement would repair the surface lights? Thanks.

The part of the control board (aka smartboard) which operates the surface lights got damaged because of the short in the light bulb socket.

Replacing the control board should fix the problem.

- The part number for the control board AP2026041

- Here are the break down diagram for the GE microwave Model JVM1460BA01

We see this a lot.

This light failure often occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a failure on the controller.
