GE Spacemaker JVM1540 Microwave Oven - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

This louder, 60 cycle hum is usually caused by a bad magnetron. The unit will not heat when this happens. Repair cost can exceed $100.

Replace defective microswitch in door latch assembly.

Yes it can. The instructions are at the back of the enclosed manual. http://www.manualslib.com/manual/555176/Ge-Jvm1540.html?page=2#manual

remove cover after remove filters you should clean the filters by water based detergent

Most likely a bad magnetron. Not something for a do-it-yourselfer to fix. Call a repairman or buy a new microwave. Magnetron replacement will be expensive. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeffrey_634abadf963e31e5

if you check it by putting the leads from a multi-tester and check continuity if this is okay replace the high frequency diode

There is a fuse and it may be some other things.But if you don't feel good about doing this kind of repair, I would have it serviced.

HOPEFULLY this only happens when the door is closed, or else you have a very dangerous situation. If it ever turns ON with the door open, unplug it IMMEDIATELY, and do NOT plug it back in. Microwave energy will damage human tissue with very bad long-term problems... it's not something to be taken lightly. Otherwise, this sounds very much like the micro-controller in the timer/control module has had a serious failure. If this unit is more than 12 months old, it is past the manufacturers warranty period, and unless you purchased an extended warranty, it's likely beyond "financially advisable" repair. If you have a friend in the electronics repair business, it may be reasonable, but I would estimate the replacement timer/control module would cost around $85 to $100, and about $70 labor to replace it.

The magnetron, the monitor switch, the TCO and many more need more info

kindly check and correct with proper trained person. should not to be use with broken door condition. its very harmfull. GKM

I usually choose an outside wall if possible to vent outside. You can buy a rear vent that is superior to a dryer vent. When this isn't possible you need a rectangular duct going up through your cabinet and up through your ceiling. hopefully you have an attic or you have to switch to a 5 inch tube going sideways (above your cabinets (if there is space) to the outside wall. If it goes into an attic you have to cut through the shingles to a vent made for bathroom and or hood vents. The motor and blower assembly inside your microwave is designed to turn to be front facing, rear facing or vertical facing. Just unscrew or break out the side that you need to vent through.

If your cooktop lights recently blew, or if the relay that controls the vent fan is affected, you may need circuit board repair.Otherwise, it may be a bad fan motor. There should be a technical sheet hidden behind the grille or behinds the controls. It's very handy to locate and test components.You can find a video here that shows you how to remove the grille & controller in about 5 minutes.You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.

It's Part No. WB06X10359.

This indicates a problem in the keypad control board, or trouble with one or too door switches. This is a situation where I recommend a technician.

It is one of two things, a defective door switch, "most likely" or the keypad control board is faulty.

If I understand you, the front keypad is not responding. In that case you will need to replace the keypad control board.

Go to www.ebay.com Type: make and model of microwave, and refine search to glass plate.

The problem is more than likely the magnetron when it is running.

This of course assumes that your oven has the optional Recirculating Charcoal Filter Kit (part # JX81C available here) already installed.
