Question about GE JVM1651 Microwave Oven

GE JVM1651 Microwave

I changed the hood bulb on this model, and I did not unplug the microwave. This caused me to trip a circuit breaker. Upon putting a new light bulb in, I noticed that the light doesn't work. The microwave works fine except for the hood lights and the vent fan now doesn't work. Any ideas? It seems there must be some common part that these two components share that got burnt out.

The control circuit board needs to be removed and repaired. We routinely repair these from customers nationwide for $32.50. It sure beats the cost of a new board!

I replaced the light bulb under the unit on my microwave and went to turn it on and it tripped the circuit breaker and smoked the control panel. The only fuse in the unit is still good. Any thoughts?
< - Please let me know your full model number from the tag on the unit and I can can give you the repair information you need.

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 stuck in "night light" mode. Sometimes this will similarly affect the fan operation or inside light, too.

Our GE JVM153SH microwave continues to blow the elecctric panel evety 4-6 months. why ?
If the microwave is not on a dedicated circuit, it's just the additional load the microwave is adding to the circuit which is causing the breaker to trip.

Microwave won't turn on. Seems like it is not getting power. I checked breaker. I am looking for a fuse. You know where one is? It is a GE Spacemaker(2 yrs old) model # JVM1440WH04
  • Make sure that the microwave is plugged into a grounded outlet. It must be a 3-prong outlet.
  • Make sure the clock is set.
  • Check to see if a programming sequence was entered. Sometimes improper programming or a program sequence such as delay start can cause the touch panel to be non-responsive. Unplug microwave or turn off house circuit breaker for 30 seconds. Plug back in, or reset circuit breaker, and try reprogramming unit.
  • Check the house circuit breaker or fuse box. If the microwave is DEAD and there is no display and nothing works- the problem could be a blown fuse or tripped breaker.

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.

At our site, we now 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.

This can often also affect the exhaust fan operation, too. The lights and fan can be inoperable or stuck on too.

Details of our service and critical safety information and disassembly information is at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa.

Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your model number) for more information & help.

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

The control circuits for the cooktop lights and the hood fan are spearate. The problem is indeed with the control unit. It's usually caused by either the filaments shorting when the lamp blows or by removing or installing the bulbs while the oven is still plugged into the power line. We regularly repair these nationwide for $32.50.

Power SURGE to Amana Microwave 2-day complete power outage due to severe rain/wind/lightning storm with subsequent Power Surge. When Power was restored, Microwave CONTROL PANEL showed no display, no power. Circuit Breaker did NOT trip. Receptacle that unit was plugged into tested fine. Basic visual inspection behind Control Panel shows nothing unusual. Is it even possible that any of the 3 fuses within are designed to protect this Amana Model against a power surge? The same surge killed the digital display on the G.E. Electric Range positioned below it rendering the oven portion inoperable but sparing the stovetop coils which are fully functional (temperature control dials are analog).
