I am trying to set the kitchen timer on my older spacemaker microwave for 2 hours and am unable to do so ... Am I trying to do something impossible?

If you have the kitchen timer set for instance for 10 minutes and it is counting down, and then you want to reheat you coffee for 2 minutes. You would hit either time cook or reheat button and enter 2 minutes ten hit start. The microwave will heat your coffee and show the 2 minute countdown for that. When done it will revert back to what is left on the 10 minute kitchen timer without missing a beat on most microwaves.

1. Open door
2. Press clock/Kitchen Timer button the display will show "0:00" with the hour"0" flashing.
3. Enter the correct hour by turning the potary dial. Enter 1-12
4. Press clock/Kitchen Timer button the display will show "0:00" with the minutes "00" flashing.
5. Enter the correct minutes by turning the potary dial. Enter 00-59
6. Press clock/Kitchen Timer. The colon will remain flashing.
7. Close the door.

HELLO.

This is the solution to reset your microwave.

1 Pressing the clock button will display the time. You can also use this to know what time it is while cooking.

1. Set the clock by pressing the "Clock" button.

2. Turning the dial on the GE sensor microwave oven will display the hour of the day. Once you have found the correct hour, press the dial in.

3. Again, turn the dial to set the minutes of the day. When this is completed, you will need to press the dial in again on the GE sensor microwave oven.

4. When the time and minutes are set, turn the dial again for a.m. or p.m. Then you will need to press the dial in to save the settings.

5. Press the "Start" button to allow the clock to begin on the GE sensor microwave oven.

Thanks.

The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.

If that doesn't work, leave it unplugged for about 5 minutes.

usually these units reset automatically after a shock! It takes time for the over load circuit to reinstate power. If by 5 hours you have no luck , then the internal ceramic fuse has blown ( under top of cover)

Never run the microwave without a load (something to heat)!!! That kills the microwave generating parts.

Sounds like a 'thermal' protect switch is activating after running. Make sure that (if the unit is mounted in a cabinet) that there is sufficient space around the unit for proper air flow and that nothing is blocking the vents. Try setting it on a counter top and heat something. If it works properly and doesn't shut off, the venting space is the problem. You may have to have the cabinet that it sits in redesigned for more clearance.

HI, the actual device that produces the heat is damaged or faulty. this device is called the Magnetron. you will need to replace this part in order to restore the heating ability of this microwave oven.

Please rate and have a great day:)

Call GE answer center 1-800-626-2000

Have you model # off your data plate ready.

It's most likely the Magnetron. The are not very easy to install and quite expensive. Older models magnetrons cost about 80 bucks from GE. It's probably not something you would want to try and repair yourself. Call a GE service person.

Hi try unplugging form mains for an hour this will reset any settings back to factory settings let me know what happens after doing this then i can assist you further ok
