What kind of power does a GE microwave oven have?
The GE Microwave Oven model JVM1650BB 007 is a 1.6 cubic foot capacity, 1000 Watt microwave oven with outside venting. I’m not getting any power from the unit.
Why does my ge microwave oven stop working?
It stopped working for no apparent reason. Discovered that the electrical cable located at the top hinge of the door has a major design flaw and the door hinge has been slowly cutting this large cable until it now been sliced through. This was confirmed by a local repairman.
What should I do if my microwave is not working?
Only a licensed technician should replace the main control board.) The thermal fuse cuts off power to the microwave if the microwave overheats. To determine if the thermal fuse has blown, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the fuse does not have continuity, replace it.
Is it safe to replace the fuse on a microwave oven?
(Caution: The microwave oven can store thousands of volts of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace the line fuse.)

How much does it cost to repair a GE microwave?
GE won’t even sell you the magnetron tube, but third party sellers will for 260+ dollars. Heck, the replacement fan motor will cost you 340+ dollars. The lesson here: This microwave is not economically repairable. A new unit with 1 year warranty sells for $199. Was this answer helpful?
