Problem for GE Spacemaker (JVM1640SJ) Microwave Oven
The lights and fan don't work after replacing the bulb
One of the bulbs for the under microwave lights separated and shorted out as I replaced the bulb. Now the circuit through the bulbs tests good connection and the fuse behind the keypad tests good. The keypad display shows the fan and lights on and off but the lights and exhaust fan don't come on any more. Is there a fuse or reset for the fan and lights?

We see (and repair) this
a lot. The problem is on the control panel, which
we regularly repair nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in about a
week or so.
At our Web site, you can get details of our service, plus we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
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.
The lights can can be inoperable or stuck on or no bright, too. Sometimes this will similarly affect the exhaust fan operation or inside light, too.
Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your full model number from the tag on the unit) for more information & help.
We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.
