Without seeing plates it is hard call. personally I would remove old plate and install new plate in accordance with instructions. You want to not void warranty by using old plate. There should screws into the studs this is the desired mounting. You can use your knuckle and tap across the wall, when you reach stud the sound will be different. Good Luck when I replaced MW units for customers I always used supplied parts. I have also been called to correct installation by store. the people they sent should not been allowed to attempt the project ( I didn't mind as i charged for my time and tools and knowledge.)

Unlock what?

You may possibly have an issue with one of the door switches or its mount may be loose, misaligned, or broken. You you can see my door switch help file here: http://www.microwavecontrol.com/doorsw.htm But it's more likely that you have a shorted cook relay. Instead of having to buy a whole new board, I can repair your circuit board for much less. Feel free to email me directly, and be sure to remind me of your full model number and your detailed symptoms. Ed Miller [email protected] http://www.microwavecontrol.com

An F3 error code indicates that the keypad for the control panel is bad or has a short.

Here is the information page on the repair of GE Cafe microwave ovens. http://www.microwavecontrol.com/jvm2070.htm For more free DIY and other help & advice, feel free to contact me with your full model number and FCC ID number from the tag on your oven.

I would first advise unplugging the oven for a minute or so and then plugging it back in and then seeing if proper operation is restored.

Then if you still have questions, please let us know the full model number from the tag inside the cooking cavity.

Is the cooling fan coming on when you try to microwave?

Try unplugging it from the wall for a minute and then plug it back in and try it.

If you still have trouble, I would need a little more information.

Are you saying that the keypad is unresponsive?

Or that you can program it, but it won't start when you hit the "Start" key?

Feel free to contact me for more help.

Whatever size matches threads in microwave.

The damper is a door inside that opens or closes depending on cooking mode (open for microwaving, closed for convection cooking). If the controller senses that the door is not in the right position, it will shut down the cook cycle or display an error code. This is a problem in one of the damper-related components, either the damper switch or damper motor, or the damper door may be binding. I can provide more specific help if you will let me know your full model number as shown on the tag inside the cooking cavity or around the door area. - Ed Miller http://www.microwavecontrol.com

To set the clock on most GE microwaves: 1 With the microwave door closed, press CLOCK. 2 Touch number pads that reflect the time of day (1:45 would be 1, 4, 5). 3 On some newer models, indicate AM or PM for morning or evening. 4 Press CLOCK or START to lock in the time. If you prefer not to display the time: Disconnect the power for 30 seconds. After restoring power, do not set the clock. If your model has an ON/OFF clock display, you can choose not to have the time displayed. To choose this option, press the 0 pad for about three seconds. To Turn the display back on, press the 0 again.

If you’ve followed instructions in owners manual, then it’s probably a control panel / display problem

Microwave isn’t designed to run with door opened.

Looks like someone turned the Child Lock feature on - this is a safety feature...For most models, here are the steps to turn on and off the child lock feature: To lock or unlock the control (varies by model):

• Press and hold the CLEAR/OFF pad for 3 seconds. The display will show "LOCK" and then revert to the time of day.
• • A small "L" may appear in the corner of the display as a reminder that the control panel is locked.
  • If anyone tries to use the microwave, the display will show "LOCK".
• Press and hold the 5 and 7 pads simultaneously for 3 seconds.
• Press the Mute pad for 3 seconds.

Hope that works for you...If not, please call GR Customer Support at 1-800-432-2737

Ever install is different, so there are no generic instructions.
