unplug the microwave take off top cover usually theres a circuit board on the side the fuse may look like this ceramic http://bentronics.com/images/3AB.jpg or glass http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21OXyh82OnL.jpg it should have writing on it telling you what voltage and amperage it is buy the exact one. replace it replace cover plug it in. hope it works

Probably best to have a repair tech look at it or just replace the microwave. You may have a problem either with the circuit board or with one of the door microswitches.

This is a two person job. You have to have one person holding it and the other takes the screws out from the cabinets above the unit. There should be two screws that are inside the cabinet that hold it up against the bottom of the cabinets. When those are loose you can slide the unit forward on the rails that attach to a large wall bracket. Or some use a lift type latch to the wall bracket.

Kurt, If you are talking about an over the oven microwave, you will need help because of safety concerns with the weight of the microwave. There should be 3 screws in the cabinet above the microwave and that is also usually where you will find the power cord plugged in. Unplug the unit and with someone holding on to the bottom of the microwave, take out the 3 screws and let the microwave tilt forward for several inches and then you can lift the back of the microwave off of the wall bracket that is behind it. Hope this helps!

Google search your manufacturer make and model and the word manual. If one is available, you can find it in the search results.

Hit power, hit 5 all after u set cook time.

If you are talking about the 2 hooks that stick out of the door, in most cases yes they are replaceable. also the switches behind the holes the hooks go into are also replaceable. Door hooks can be accessed by carefully prying off the plastic inner door frame around the hooks. You have to be gentle or the frame will crack. Take your time and go slowly all the way around the door.

if it is a humming sound and not a motor or fan u probably have a bad magnatron or power supply component causing a heavy load.

Go to this link....you can download the users manual. The procedures for setting the clock are on page 22 of 68. JVM1950SR1SS GE MICROWAVE Manual

If I'm going to reply at all, I have to warn you not to go near the insides of a microwave unless you understand how to discharge the HV capacitor. It can hold lethal voltage even when the oven is unplugged. Do not depend on a self-discharge resistor, it may be faulty or not there. I can't find a photo of that particular model, but here is one of a typical layout. http://www.appliance-repair-it.com/images/microwavelayout.jpg The HV capacitor is typically a metal can about 5" long, like this http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/m95TA3ZdkVPdKC7vYn0zvog.jpg It may also be cylindrical.

It can be related to short in the main capacitor , short in the transformer or the surge capacitor. Also it can be due to short in the Magnetron or even the fault in the board.You can isolate the short by disconnecting these one by one till the circuit holds which will confirm the case.

This is usually caused from a bad magnetron. The door interlock switches couls be bad or the high voltage diode could be bad.

There could be a bad interlock switch. I have seen this blow the fuse. The high voltage capacitor could be shorted. This will blow the fuse immediately. Take care around the high voltage circuit. Make sure you short the capactor terminals to groound before touching any connectors.
