SET WANT COME ON.

I can't get it to heat up....it keeps showing the red cool setting.what do I do to make it heat up again?

The problem is in the keypad control board, cost will run high making a new microwave oven attractive.

HELLO.

TO MAKE YOUR MICROWAVE WORK AS REQUIRED BY YOU.TAKE THE RESET STEP

4 Perform a hard reset. Pull the plug out of the wall power supply, and wait a moment. Plug the GE microwave back into the wall power supply to reset any anomalies with the microwave's memory. You will need to reset the time of day if you perform a hard reset.
5 Reset the time of day. Press the "Clock" button, and turn the dial to set the hours. Press the dial to enter. Follow the same procedure for the minutes and a.m. or p.m. Press the "Start" button to start the clock.

Thanks.

The magnetron may have either failed or is not being supplied with the extremely high voltage required to run it.
Make sure the !!!!capacitor is discharged!!!!! before attempting any sort of repair.
Check the door interlock switches first then the high voltage diode with either an AVO model 8 on high resistance range for short circuit, the feed fuse on the primary of the high voltage transformer and then finally, the magnetron is best checked by substitution.
Hope that helps.

Hello ediben11.

If your oven's bake or the broiler heating elements won't heat but the range burners still work;the clock may be set for a timed or self-cleaning cycle. So,make sure to check the clock buttons and the knobs are set properly.
*If your clock has a knob that says "push for manual" then push the knob in after that, try the baking and broiling elements again.

*If it still does not work properly, you may have a defect in the thermostat/selector switch/common wiring.

*If the oven does not have a separate bake or broil selector switch; then the thermostat is probably the problem. It is not easy to check the selector switch or thermostat for proper operation. If you suspect a problem in this area, call a qualified appliance repair technician.

Hope this helps.

this sounds like the power supply and or the magnetron has become faulty we get this all the time in the shop. You need to get a "Quote" from a competent repair shop.

In all likelihood the mangnetron has failed, or perhaps even the Power Supply. or a fault that is shutting the system down for safety reasons You need to have it serviced by a reputable service centre/man. Ensure you get a firm "Quote" before proceeding, and remember these days the cost of repair can equal or exceed the price of a new one.

The "RESET" indicates that there was a power failure. You should be able to push the clear/reset button and then set the clock and be on your way.......

The owner's manual is here. On page 10 we find:

4. Press the START/+30SEC. button to start cooking;
the Microwave and one of the Cook indicators will

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

To enter the time you must push the clock button once before you enter the time and again after you enter the numbers. Try that and you should be all set.

Please mark this as a fixya! thanks.
