Merry Christmas… It quit working yesterday… ugh. All controls work, control panel works, PL is on 10, turntable turns, light works w / door open & shut; just starts to hum and no heating happening. I have read others threads. I am very handy, and need to fix it. With (3) kids and a wife, patience and fears of loss and possible cost are the focus. Help! Your advice and expertise are greatly appreciated.
Mike
Hi.
The problem you have is most likely on the hi - voltage side.Diod, magnetron, capacitor.Smaller chance for the transformer.
Here are the breakdown diagram and Microwave parts for GE JE1860WB002 - AppliancePartsPros.com
Use the attached link to check the components.
Post the results.
