I have a GE Sapcemaker XL1800. Last night when I went to push express cook for one minute all I got was a small roar and after the one minute was done, my sandwich was not heated. We tried it several more times with no warmup. Problem: Microwave not heating food.

I would double-check for cracks, especially in the inner door glass and the screen / mesh.
If it looks fine, heat a cup of water in a microwave-safe container for about 2 minutes and see if it cooks without arcing or odd noises and that it boils in about 2 minutes.
As always, never leave a microwave unattended while running.

The problem appears, at least in part, to the door latch circuitry which cannot be serviced by the owner. If the unit is still in warranty, call GE customer care. If not, replacing the unit is your best bet. I just bought a new GE 1100 watt oven with great features for less than $100 If the door dosen't latch correctly, you could be exposed to dangerous microwave energy.
We see this a lot. The problem is on the control panel, which we regularly repair nationwide for $39.95 postpaid.
This light failure often occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a failure on the controller.
