Jenn Air over the range microwave JMV8186AA . The clock display keeps resetting to ":0". No power disruption, will keep time for several hours then reset. We like the auto nightlight and would like to fix this. Any ideas? Thanks
1. Defective controller or its power supply.
2. Broken display panel.
3. Oven needs to be reset (pull plug for a minute or two to reset).
God bless you

I have a different Jenn-Air built in microwave & oven combination but I'm sure my solution will work for you as well.
My microwave was plugged into an outlet located on the top of the oven. This outlet has a "circuit breaker" that tripped while we were using the self cleaning feature on the oven. You just need to reset the breaker button right next to the wall oven outlet. Why it tripped is a mystery since the microwave was not in use at the time. Bad design.
Of course, getting to the reset button is your only challenge. You need to pull the microwave and oven out of the wall/cabinetry in order to get to it. The unit is heavy so you will need help. Or, call a certified repairman and they should be able to do this for you in 30 minutes or less so the service call should not run you more than @$85 if it is no longer under warranty.
I would also suggest you contact Jenn-Air to complain about this issue and seek reimbursement from them if necessary.

It's either the fuse or the thermostat on the magnetron.

SOURCE: Jenn Air Microwave Error Code
Hello Hec1152,
I have found the manufacturer contact information for you, but could not find information about the error code. If everything works fine, but the microwave is not heating your food, then the problem is most likely the magnatron or one of it's components, which sadly to say is the most expensive part to replace. Please feel free to contact the manufacturer via phone or live chat to get more details as to what the error code means.
If you would not mind, could you please rate my help. I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm afraid since Jenn Air has become a division of Whirlpool (along with numerous others) the quality has suffered.
I was going to suggest that you purchase a service manual for your unit so you could 'reset' it yourself. Service manuals can cost from $12-$40 US and in many cases obviate the need for 'professional' service calls.
However, I couldn't find one offered for your model number so your only choices are to continue to pay for 'service' or examine the guts visually to see if you can locate any reset feature.
This is what I would do.
When microwaves fail, older ones generally need a diode, a big capacitor or the magnetron replaced.
Newer units are suffering power supply failures as many have moved from the reliable but less efficient 'linear' power supplies to 'switched mode' types that are more efficient but more complex and prone to failure.
These later types usually have the word 'inverter' in the model description.
