Question Microwave will not start
Model Number: jvm1533bd 004   Brand: GE   Age: 1 - 5 years   

The microwave has power to it, but will not start. It asks for the clock time & after I enter it & push start the screen goes blank and nothing happens. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this problem?

Most likely the problem with your microwave caused by electromagnetic waves leaking from the magnetron.

- The part number for the magnetron is AP2026208

Gene, is the magnetron hard to replace?

Thanks,

Steve,

It's not very hard, but the microwave has to be removed from the cabinet.
