Touch pad works fine. Any input for microwaving results in vent panel opening, clock counting down, but no microwave power or turntable movement. thanks

  • Anonymous Oct 18, 2010

    Thanks, that is a helpful start.



    The manul does not mention a fuse. Is that something I can access/replace? Is a standard type fuse or something I would have to special order?



    Also, the microwave lists for $800 plus. Would it really be cheaper to replace than service if it is not the fuse?



    Thanks

    I would like to reply "Yes, I am satisfied," but I still need this question answered.



    Can I access the fuse and is it a common or special order fuse?



    Your original anwer was great. I just need the detail on the fuse.



    Thanks

There can be a lot of things please check this out :

For turntable foolow these steps :
1..
Check the function. Many microwave models have a timer setting in addition to the cook setting. Check to see that you did not inadvertently choose the timer setting.
2.
Make sure the tray is seated properly. Some trays are seated on a spinning rack that must be aligned in a track. Check to see that the wheels of the tray are aligned. Other models may have a insertion point on the underside of the tray that fits into the spinning motor area. Make sure that the tray is placed squarely over this connector and does not wobble.
3.
Check that the tray is not upside down. If the tray is placed upside down, it may not align properly with the spinning rack or connector. Remove and replace right side up.
4.
Clear the track of debris. Food can stick to the wheels or clog the track in spinning rack models or adhere to the rotators in other models. Remove large pieces of food or other debris and then wipe the interior with a damp sponge.
5.
Turn the turntable function on. Some models may have an on/off switch for the turntable function. Refer to your microwave instructions to see if your model has a switch and how to locate it. Turn it to the "on" position to get the turntable to move again.
IF Microwave doesn't activate
•1
Make sure microwave is plugged in properly.
•2
Check that door closes completely and its latch is aligned.
•3
Check that interlock switch in door works properly (required for activating microwave).
•4
Replace a blown fuse if it's accessible, or contact a service technician.

    If it is not the fuse then its better to replace then get it serviced because even the service will cost more then $350 to $450.

The problem is your magnetron is not getting power. You may also have a blown fuse inside the microwave. First thing to do is change the fuse, if this does not correct the problem then your charging diode, capacitor, magnetron, or high voltage transformer have failed. It would be cheaper to buy a brand new microwave then to repair it.

Microwave lights, clock, and everything works except when you press start, it just counts down like its cooking, but the microwave is actually not on. No hum as usual or plate rotating. It just counts...

Hi, one of the most common reasons why the turntable won't rotate is that the microwave isn't clean. The turntable guide and carousel can get sticky, preventing the turntable from properly moving. If you have built-on food particles or liquids, fill a bowl with 2 or 3 cups of water and 1 tsp. of liquid detergent and lemon. Run the microwave for about 3 minutes. Clean the microwave with a cloth, including the base of the turntable, guide, carousel grooves and microwave base. Your microwave turntable won't rotate if the grooves on the base of the turntable do not sit right on the carousel. Also, check the position of the turntable guide. Place the guide directly under the turntable. Remove the turntable, and then reposition it into the carousel grooves.
Motor The carousel motor is located beneath the base plate of the microwave. If the carousel isn't turning at all, check the motor. Disconnect the microwave from the power source, and remove the turntable, guide and base plate. Try turning the motor to see if it's just stuck. If it doesn't turn freely after a few seconds, examine the motor to see if it's burned out or corroded. Use an ohmmeter to see if the motor has continuity. If not, you must replace the motor.
Bushings The drive bushings are plastic components that sit underneath the cooking plate. Remove the plate, and examine the bushings. Use a magnifying glass if necessary to see if any debris is caught in the plastic. Clean the bushings, and reinsert the plate. Turn the microwave on to see if it rotates. If the bushings are extremely worn or if some of the plastic is broken off, you need to replace it, which is a complicated repair for consumers. Contact a service technician for assistance.

I need to replace the control panel on a GE spacemaker 2.0 microwave. Model is JVM2070SK01. How do I remove the power vent to gain access to the control panel?

1. Unplug the microwave or turn off its breaker.

2. Open the door, then detach the control panel as shown in the video at
http://www.microwavedisplay.com and swing it down, but without disconnecting the wires.

If you have any trouble getting the grille off once the screws are removed, slide the hood vent grille to the left about 1/4", then then pull it forward.

On some models there are L-shaped clips that fit into a slot to hold bottom of the vent.

You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.

The clock works & counts down but the microwave won't heat

  • 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.





Touch the clock pad. Enter in the correct time of day by touching the numbers in sequence. Touch the clock pad again.

Kenmore microwave

The Keypad is a Circuit.Each of the Function Buttons is a switch. The same "Touch" Techinology as is used of your TV Remote Control Pad or your Telephone. It would appear that your Keypad Circuit is Open, not allowing touch commands to reach the Control Board.The Keypad will have to be replaced. Best done by a Professional. I have seen "Rare" cases of a defective Door Switch causing such symptoms.

Microwave quit

I would suspect either door switches or an intermittent control circuit board, either of which can be repaired. Opening the door while cooking (without first hitting the STOP pad) is the primary cause of door switch failure over time. I have a text file on my site called "doorsw.txt" which helps in diagnosing and repairing door switch problems. You can find the file via a Google search. It will help you check and replace the door switches if you or an able friend is so inclined. In some cases, the problem is a bad connection or a bad relay on the control board. That's something we see fairly often, and we repair them for only $32.50 nationwide.
