Hi Kerryi,

If the microwave does not make any unusual noises then most likely the problem is a bad magnetron.

In order to replace it the microwave has to be removed from the cabinet.

- The part number for the magnetron is AP2025937

Here are the break down diagrams for the GE microwave Model JVM1440WA01

Gene.

Hi, I have the same microwave with the same problem, everything works, but it will not heat and I didn't not smell any burning, it just stopped heating.
how hard is it to replace the magnetron.

The microwave has to be removed from the cabinet. The rest is simple - screws, screws and more screws.
