Change yo fuses

there is no easy fix to this units current problem it will need to be looked at by a service tech as the fault is an internal circuit shortout and needs to have the faulty circuit found and then replaced using expensive testing units


sorry

usually you need to demount the front panel then remove its face unit as it will have a back guard unit so they split apart with screws usually counter sunk machine screws then the front unit section will have the handle attached de mount it and replace and back step i find if i place all the screws like a map of where they came from then when placing a screw in metal or plastic turn the screw anti clockwise {to the left} till it clicks down and drops a bit you get a feel for it so practice once you do this you can almost guarantee your on the correct threads when you wind it clockwise {to t he right} to secure esp important with plastic if you drop in the wrong thread you end up with a unit thats plastics holes no longer hold the screws turn turn isnt good when you can use this trick

replace the turntable synchronous motor look to ebay search for ge jvm1650 then add turntable motor or browse down youll find a new motor the coils inside may be duff

There maybe so many factors. How old is your microwave. From your description, I believe you may have to change your Magnetron. Maybe the magnet is cracked.

Hi Edward I should mention (although it's pretty obvious) that Microwave Energy is DANGEROUS. So it's better not to fiddle with the internals. A quick test can be done to check for electromagnetic energy (in the 2.45Ghz range) inside the oven. Put a glass of water in the Microwave Oven and place 2 strips of tinfoil across the top of the open glass above the water. Put the strips close together but not quite touching then close the door. Start the microwave & look through the glass window. Listen & Watch for sparks between the tinfoil pieces. If there are sparks then your Microwave Oven is generating or transmitting electromagnetic energy from the magnetron tube unit. If it's working Don't leave it sparking too long. The tinfoil can get hot enough to burn. The glass of water is to absorb any microwave energy. There is an interlock switch on the door for safety to protect you from microwaves leaking out of the door cracks. This switch fails to function sometimes. But normally the oven won't even try to power on or spin the turntable (or Fan) if this interlock fails. If there are no sparks then your Magnetron is shot. Its usually not worth fixing them unless you know of a specialist technician who is qualified and competent with microwave equipment. Hope This Helps ..... Trevor

What worked in my case was resetting the processor. To do that, i opened the microwave's panels and disconnected all the parts that were connected. I put them all back in after a minute or so, started it back up and it worked. However, this isn't a permanent fix. The fix will work temporarily and the process will have to be repeated.

replace the fan.
