GE cafe convection microwave 9CEB1590SS only heats up with convection heating element.

Keypad functions appear normal and the internal light comes on normally. However, the fans do not come on, turntable doesn't turn, microwave does not function. Possibly a circuit board problem?

Can be part of the power supply or the controller board. Best to take the unit in for service. You would need the spare parts to try, the service manual, and the proper voltever to make the necessary verifications.

It think you have to try again and again . one of the more difficult type of electronic repair tasks is troubleshooting . but still there are some general tests one should perform to solve the problem.

SOURCE: GE Spacemaker XL1800 does not heat

Possible bad heating element, You should remove the cover of the unit and look at the heating element with the power off. Until you get your problem resolved I would recommend not to even turn it on due to the fact that you are unsure what is going on and you smelt some burnt smell. Just for safety until you fine the problem

SOURCE: A little louder than normal;no heat

A loud buzz, hum, or groan is usually a shorted high voltage rectifier diode, but a sound like gurgling into an empty coffee mug is one symptom of a failed magnetron, and yet the mag can be bad without that sound.

At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Accessing some components for testing and possible replacement will require you to remove the oven from the wall.

If so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.

Here are some links you or someone you know can use for test help, but read their safety warnings first:

http://www.gallawa.com/microtech/diode.html
(if it's not shorted, it's probably okay)


http://www.gallawa.com/microtech/mag_test.html
(even if the magnetron passes these tests, it can still be bad. If you have high voltage and the diode is good, assume the magnetron is bad)

NOTE: FixYa's Web site is currently not notifying us when replies to our Clarification Requests are posted.

So please reply back directly to me with your brand and full model number from the tag in or on the unit for more help or free do-it-yourself tips or an estimate if required.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

My GE Profile JVM1790 convection microwave has issue. Was using the convection portion when a small spark and flame appeared and then went out and soot and smoke was all inside and now will not heat up...

Yep, that sounds very much like the heating element burned out. It happens. You should be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer's website... or there may be a list of repair centers in the manual - pick one & try to order the heating element through them.

Convection oven doesn't heat

Possible that the relay is faulty or there is fault on the control panel. It can also be related to problems on the thermocouple or sensors which can cut off prematurely the element.

My microwave runs like normal but doesnt heat. is there a heatin element or something i could replace?

Hi

When the microwave sounds okay, but there's no heat, one of the internal door switches, the high voltage circuitry, or the circuit board may have a problem. To resolve this problem, you need the assistance of a qualified appliance repair technician.
Please do rate the solution as FixYa and revert for further assistance.

Thanks
