I just purchased a GE Advandium SCA1000HBB microwave oven. I noticed there is a metal piece in the inner upper ceiling of the microwave by looking through the holes. This metal piece continuous to move up and down. I thought it is a vent and should stop once the inner temperature cools down. However, it just went on and on and strange noises were coming from the upper parts of the microwave. I ended up just unplugging the microwave. Does anybody know what this is about?
It sounds like the 'stirrer' which is a metal fan-like device with a plastic bearing that is mounted in the wave guide above the cavity. Pull the plug, then the case. Remove the waveguide above the cavity which should expose the stirrer. Spin it and check for any up and down motion--straighten the axle part so that it turns true. The blower system turns the stirrer--no extra motor. If this part was bent, someone may have handled it roughly. Reassemble the waveguide and test without the case on, but a cup of water in the cavity.

The surface light on my GE microwave oven has a high and low setting. The low setting no longer works. I purchased new halogen bulbs and they worked for about an hour. Now the light does not work on the low setting. The lights work on the high setting only. What could be the probelm.

tray doesn't always rotate. sometimes yes, sometimes no .GE advantium model sca2000fww03 If we take the food out and run the micro empty for a little bit, and turn on the oven light to see what's happening, we find that in a few minutes it decides to start turning. Most of the time.

Hi, I picked up a used 2000 Chevy blazer for my daughter, 4 door and it needs speakers bad. I believe their are 6 total, 2 on the dash and 2 in each door. I have been trying to find info at the library and online as to how to replace them. The dash speakers look like they are replaceable from the top of the dash by removing a coule screws. The doors I am not sure if the speaker covers just pop off or if I need to remove the inside panel of each door. Any help is appreciated, including sizes that fit. Thanks in advance. Dennis
