Ge profile space maker xl 1800 shut down during cooking

After first setting the cook time---then hit the power level button and hit the number 5 (for 50%) and then start. Power level can also be changed while running by hitting power level button and selecting 1 through 10. For example level 3 is 30% for defrosting.

i have a ge 1800 model and it cooks fine but after awhile it shuts down and in about a hour it comes back on and ask you to set the clock.....

You should keep it unplugged until it's fixed. If it's cooking while it should be off, that can damage the oven or even start a fire.

It's either a failed door switch or door switch mount, or a bad electrolytic capacitor on the control board, which we can repair for $39.95.

If you're hearing a fan or motor running, I'd suspect the switch. See this file for help.

If it's a buzz (like a power line buzz) then I'd suspect the board capacitor.

Feel free to contact me directly (and please include your full model number from the tag in or on the unit) for more help.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

It sounds like the main transformer has failed. It would be cheaper to replace the whole microwave than repair this one. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Hope this helps. Good luck.

All of a sudden last nigh it just started acting weird the panel works and the clock etc works as well as all the cooking setting. but it doesn't light up inside and when I close the door to my GE Profile Eterna Space maker it starts huiming like its cooking something

Sounds like the Magnatron or the HV Cap or diode is failed. Process of will show you which one. Very dangerous area to work in, not for the untrained. Eric

ge spacemaker XL1800 (JVM 1870BF02) doesn't heat, lights, turntable works.
