Microwave Repair
1

I bought this microwave a while back, and finally got around to installing it last week. Before I did, i plugged it in to check that it is working, and all the lights and display came up, the only thing i didnt check is whether it heats or not. Now that i put it up, it does not heat, at all.
Everything else works fine, except that i cannot get the nite-lite feature to turn off, so the light is always on, even though i set it to off in the options. BTW, it is not mounted over a cooktop, so it is not exposed to heat.

Model number is JVM1851BH06 manuf. in July 2006

THANKS!

The mag still has some warranty left on it. but it could have a bad board there is a mini manual inside control panel for diagnostics and system checks.

I am also having issues getting my microwave to heat. The turntable comes on as well as light. Everything seems normal, just no heat.
Model number is JVM 1340WW 002
Manufactured NOV 1996

Hi Jessica,

Most likely the problem is a bad magnetron. You have to remove the microwave from the cabinet in order to access the part.

Here are the break down diagrams for the GE microwave Model JVM1340WW02

Ok. I am back, with some time over the next day to try and fix this.

To answer the question that was asked: Yes, the turntable does come on.

Now, I took the MW down, but i do not have a diagram to start opening it. If anyone can point me in the right direction so i can start diagnosing it, that would be great.

Thanks!
