CHANCES ARE GOOD THAT YOU HAVE BLOWN THE POWER TRANSFORMER.

I would unplug the unit and let it sit for a few minutes, unplugged.
Then re-connect the unit and try it again. If the unit is a 220 Volt unit, you may consider re-setting the breaker.

If it works, grate !
If it does not, well junk it, the chances are good the power unit is shoot and unless really new, would not be worth repair.

Hope this works for you.!

My GeE Profile model #PEB1590SM2SS microwave isn’t working. The turntable spins when the door is open, but it won’t spin or heat anything up during operation.

First, I'm not a GE tech
* STOP!
* Door opened should turn off all power except the display. This is a safety measure,
* Unplug and DO NOT use!
* Check warranty. Call for service.
* Check with store or vendor for replacement.

The microwave isn't heating/cooking on any setting but the turntable, light is working. What should I check before calling a repairman?

There is nothing more you can do, you have verified everything is working except it is not heating the food. The next step is have the repairman come in to isolate the cause.

Microwave doesn't heat anything

This more than likely is the magnatron,< heats food >, making noise and not working. it isn,t really easy fix and can be done if you get part and experienced person to walk you through it. Most GE magnatrons have at least 5 yr warranty and if it isn't that old call them first.

Microwave won't heat anything

take the cover off the machine and look for a 13amp fuse that supplys the tranformers. BEWARE!!!
when you open the machine disconnect from the mains and do not touch the high power circuits the capacitors can hold a charge that can kill.
