Spacemaker XL1800 runs but doesn't heat.

Jim I suggest contacting GE directly with this issue 1-800-433-2682 or www.geappliances.com

Is this an over the stove type unit? I have had a few problems with my over the range spacesaver. I think the heat from cooking gets up into the microwave and damages it. The steam from me boiling things on the stove had mine quit heating and I purchased a new one. The parts to replace the faulty ones can be quite expensive over $150.00, so its better to purchase a new microwave.

magnetron problem DON'T KNOW IF WITH FIXING - WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MYSELF

Tat would be a magnetron problem. The magnetron is what provides the heat

MAGNETRON, 99% of the time with your complaint

You either have a bad magnetron tube (5 or 10 year parts warranty item through GE Factory Service 1-800-432-2737 or www.geappliances.com) or a shorted high voltage rectifier. I think the light being out is a secondary problem.

use a high voltage probe to check high voltage, if present replace the magnatron if no HV replace the high voltage board this is the board that has the heavy wires to the magnatron

have a GE xl1800 microwave that is not heating the food. The lights work, turntable turns etc. all but no heat. Help this microwave is only 1 years old.
