General Electric JEB1860DMWW 1100 Watts Microwave Oven Questions & Answers
Microwave oven not heating up
The problem could be the magnetron, "heart of the microwave" the inverter board, "if 7 years old or less" and possibly the keypad control board.
GE JE1860WH 04 microwave
This
is usually caused by either a bad door switch or a loose door switch
mount, which are pretty simple problems to fix.
Even though a door
switch clicks, it may still be bad inside.
Door switch
or mount trouble is usually caused by slamming the door or by opening
the
door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.
There are
plastic mounts inside the microwave which hold the door switches and
onto which the door latches lock when you close the door.
The screws on these
mounts may be loose. If they get too loose, the switches will not be
activated properly.
Sometimes it's
a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just
out of position. This tab
can be hard to see, since it is under the
bottom edge of the switch.
If the switch mount is broken, it's usually more economical and
safer to add a dab or two of hot glue to the mount to secure the
switch. Let it cool for about 30 minutes before using.
One test that sometimes
helps is to
gently lift up (and/or push down) on the door or handle as you try to
start it. If it works or tries to work, then it's a door switch mount
or
door alignment issue.
If you or someone you

Coffee spilled microwave while heating now microwave is dead it is a general spacemaker what can I do
Wow, generally a spill in a microwave shouldn't be catastrophic, but if it blew the wall plug, something bad happened. What do you mean it blew the plug? Did it simply trip a GFI? a breaker? Either way something must be amiss inside. Best case is a blown fuse in the microwave. You can look inside for evidence of a short but follow all safety practices and ensure the unit is depowered and steer clear of the big capacitor as it could still be charged.

Hello my Teka MCX 45.1 BIT microwaves start button not appearing?
Microwaves generally last about 2000 hours before losing power. Here are some basics to try: Make sure the power plug is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Listen for an audible click when you close the door. Unplug it, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in (this may reset it). If the start button is then not appearing, there may be a problem with the touchhpad or control panel. Teka's customer service:
