GE JE1660 Microwave Oven Questions & Answers
No Heat - everything else works
It's most likely a defective magnetron or a bad connection at the magnetron terminal.
The GE bulletin on the magnetron kit can be found here to see if yours is one affected:

You may have a loose and tarnished connection at the FA terminal of the magnetron.
If so, it needs to be disconnected, tightened, maybe burnished or sanded, and reinstalled. If it still won't work, the mag is bad.
But before you do anything, we have *critical* safety and disassembly info at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

When i shut the door
Hi
It could be due to a faulty fan on your microwave, check whether the fan is running. Check and clean all the exhaust vents. If the fan is running then it could be due to faulty control board of the microwave. Hope this helps... Please post back with model# if you need more information.

My GE microwave oven (JE1660)
The magnetron may have either failed or
is not being supplied with the extremely high voltage required to run
it.
Make sure the !!!!capacitor is discharged!!!!!
before attempting any sort of repair.
Check the diode with either
an AVO model 8 on high resistance range for short circuit, the feed
fuse on the primary of the high voltage transformer and then finally,
the magnetron is best checked by substitution.
Hope that helps.
