Question about GE JVM1650SH Microwave Oven

GE Microwave Model JVM1650

Microwave shuts off after 2 - 3 seconds when attempting to heat small items such as 6 oz cup of butter or dinner roll. Microwave appears to work correctly after placing the item on large plate or including a large empty coffee cup along with the small item. Large Items, popcorn, dishes of food etc do not cause problem.

Thanks snakehead, Microwave has been functioning as described for several (10 - 12) weeks, the past 2 days it's stopping with larger items as well.

We have GE JVM1650 spacemaker microwave. At first it would run for 3-5 seconds and turn off. More recently it stopped heating in the middle of the alotted time. Everything works fine, no keypad...

It's a bad magnetron.

See this FixYa solution even if your full model number is different.

Model JVM1650WH02 will shut off about 2 seconds or less into cook time. everything else works such as light and clock and sometimes the wave will cook.

magnetron is leaking internally, do not use until magnetron is replaced. the mag creates interference with the control board and resets it

I have a new microwave oven Model JVM1750SM1SS. Does this model allow me to use seconds rather than minutes. For instance can I place a frozen dinner roll in the oven for twenty seconds?

It should. Normally to cook 20 seconds you would pres COOK TIME - 2 - 0 - START.

GE Spacemaker Microwave Oven - Kicks out often

Sadly, we hear of this over and over.

This is usually due to a defective or loose magnetron causing electrical interference and disruption in the control circuit board.

If your magnetron was recently replaced, it may have loose mounting nuts or bolts or maybe the wire mesh RF gasket was not installed or got pinched.

It may also need a new high-voltage diode and stirrer, and the cavity may be affected.

GE had a campaign (but not a recall, mind you!) covering several models.

Details are in their bulletin at http://207.234.249.73/mwd/ge_mw_mag_kit_bulletin.pdf

Even if your model is not on the list, the same problem can occur, requiring a kit. I just think the difference is that GE has stopped paying for the repairs.

The parts kit (that GE used to pay for) is part # WB27X10489 and is shown here: http://207.234.249.73/mwd/wb27x10489_ge_mag_stir_kit.jpg

If you or someone you know decide to look into it, we have critical information on safety, disassembly and door switches at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

There should also be a very helpful "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel. It's very helpful when troubleshooting.

The owner's manual will give you the warranty length. If you don't have yours, you can find it here: http://www.geappliances.com/shop/prts/

You really need to call GE on this. Only they can answer if they will still cover it. GE Answer Center -800-626-2005, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Otherwise, it may fall under your State's lemon laws. You can contact the Attorney General's office, usually via http://www.state.xx.us (where xx is your State's 2-letter abbreviation).
