  • Make sure that the microwave is plugged into a grounded outlet. It must be a 3-prong outlet.
  • Make sure the clock is set.
  • Check to see if a programming sequence was entered. Sometimes improper programming or a program sequence such as delay start can cause the touch panel to be non-responsive. Unplug microwave or turn off house circuit breaker for 30 seconds. Plug back in, or reset circuit breaker, and try reprogramming unit.
  • Check the house circuit breaker or fuse box. If the microwave is DEAD and there is no display and nothing works- the problem could be a blown fuse or tripped breaker.

Boiling water in my GE Spacemaker Microwave it stopped working and looks as if it is at half power. When activated it makes a half power type noise and the light goes dim. Is this a fuse issue?

Probably not a house fuse. Typically good or bad!! Have you tried it in a totally different outlet?? Could be a bad connection of your circuit breaker to the bus bar in your circuit breaker panel. Try it on an outlet on a different breaker. Or have someone check the power at the outlet when it is running and see if the voltage is dropping.

The keypad control board may be the problem, or the inverter board if 7 years old or less, cost should be considered.

I have a new (2009) microwave GE JVM1750SM1SS and suddenly turn off. I turn off and back on the microwave main breaker. I checked the outlet and it has energy. I plugged in back the microwave but it...

If your appliance has absolutely no functions at all, remove it from the mains supply, remove the case and see where the mains lead goes in to the appliance and follow the cable until you find the main fuse.
ONLY USE THE SAME TYPE AND RATING OF FUSE TO REPLACE IT.
The usual cause of this fuse failure is the door switches are contaminated or sticking. Check the door switches before putting power back on to the appliance.
Hope this helps.

Hi! Our GE Spacemaker microwave (JVM241BL) stopped working..... nothing on it works at all. We have checked the breaker box in the basement and made sure it is plugged in. We are assuming it is a fuse...

Turn off the power before starting this process. If the oven is dead, the fuse is probably blown. Remove the two screws that hold the touch pad and control board in place to access the fuse. Once inside, look towards the back and follow the power cord that enters the rear of the microwave to the fuse. It should be a 15 amp ceramic fuse.

Turned on the microwave and all power just went out. Checked the breaker panel, but none are tripped.

when you said the power went out ( did you mean to the micro or the complete hm . if only to micro it probably blew it internal fuse . they doo that . replace the fuse ( radio shack is a good place to get it .) but ck the door inter lock's as they may have caused the failure . ps buy more than one fuse / you may need more. **** ,,

Maytag Microwave Power Outage - Model MMV5000BAB

Found this under GE instead of Maytag, but can answer for you here.

It may be the internal fuse, but more likely it is the thermostat on the magnetron.
