You may need a new microwave..however, the diode may be defective or the magnatron tube may need replacing,,The magnatron tube is only warranted for 5 years so it may be used up as the model is (10years)fairly old.

I'd say don't play with your microwave. These things can cause you a nasty injury or death if you don't put them back together correctly.

Service technicians have a tool to measure leaking microwave levels after the put them back together.

Your best choice is to get it professionally repaired if it is an expensive model or just get rid of it and buy a new one.

I don't suppose it is still under warenty.

BE SPECIFIC

You can find the exploded view on the searspartsdirect.com website. You need to enter the complete part number, or ZMC1095BB001, and confirm colors befor eordering parts.

Generally, the most common causes of a failure to heat are:

- bad door switches or door switch mounts
- loose connection at the magnetron
- problem or loose connection on the control unit circuit board
- bad magnetron or other high voltage part (such as a shorted diode)

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

There should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel, which is very helpful when troubleshooting.

We're happy to help and we appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

I would suspect a couple of wires are crossed.

GE puts mini-manuals in their units, which have wiring diagrams, schematics, etc. Very handy.

It will be folded up in a small envelope, usually behind the control panel or hidden elsewhere. That should help you.
