The sound was the sound you would associate with an electrical short. It made the digital display flicker just before it went black. I tried to unplug it, let it rest, then plug it back in.... Nothing. It's only 3 1/2 years old. Any ideas? HELP!:confused: Thank You.

Remove the top grill and you should be able to get to the diod, hi-voltage capacitor and fuse. Here are the breakdown diagram and Microwave parts for GE JVM1740SM2SS - AppliancePartsPros.com Use this link for test instructions. Simon.
