Malfunction!!!!!!!!! This past weekend I was ceaning out my oven and I thought for some reason that I could disconnect the grill part if the oven that warms it and I unscrewed the right side and pulled softly- when I did that I heard a light poof noise- no flames or sparks- but right then at that moment I thought that it was the best time to leave it alone. I'm thinking it's a fuse and I would appreciate your help in this before I have someone come out. Thank you very much!!!!!

That poof that you heard was a shorted wire. More than likely you would not see it, but there is wires behind it.I would say you tripped a breaker or blew a fuse. Did you put the screw back in it that hold it in. If not turn off breaker before you do. Do you have breakers or fuses.

My jvm 1861 oven does not power on at all. how do i disassemble the control panel to replace the fuse

At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range grille and control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

The fuse should be accessible after removing only the grille, with no need to remove the controller.

According to a similar model's service manual:

"The fuse is located on the upper duct mounted to the Noise filter.
1. Disconnect power and remove grille.
2. Replace the fuse."

You can find handy exploded views and order parts by model number
here.

Howv do you remove plastic grill above the door on a GE 1400 spacemaker to dust of the fins

Your owner's manual should cover this, but if for some reason you don't have your owner's manual, you can download GE owner's manuals and installation instructions here.

Usually you just remove the two screws on the front of the top cover of the microwave (or in the grille itself) then lift up/out on the grille, as shown in the drawings below.

Jenn air microwave jmv8208bas The light bulb went out. How do I replace it?

From the service manual:

The top full-width grille is removable for service to some components, such as: humidity sensor, oven light, door removal, flame sensor, vent motor capacitor, fuse, control panel, and stirrer motor (some models).

Grille Removal

1. Disconnect power to oven.
2. Remove screws located in front on top of microwave securing grille.
3. Pull outward on the top portion of the grille releasing the tabs.
4. Reassemble in reverse order.

The oven lamp part original number is 4713−001165 but you can get it locally (generics) at hardware stores, appliance parts stores, etc. It's a common 20 watt halogen bulb.

How to install charcoal filter in ge microwave md# jvm1870 sk04

You can download GE owner's manuals and installation instructions here.
