I have an JVM 1630,31 it stopped working after a power outage the house got cold and I turned the stovetop on for 5 minutes did I burn something out or was it because of the power outage? I replaced the fuse and still have nothing no power at all. I know there is power going to it because i ran a light to the outlet. please help if you can.

check the touch pad or control unit any short circuit in the control unit, other wise any moisture at control unit chec the circuit other wise replace the touch pad.

One or two of the micro switches have failed, you will need a professional to remedy the situation.

Probably a bad door switch or mount.

Usually if there was enough power to burn the traces then it usually will damage a few things. It's worth a try to fix the trace. If it works don't be too surprised if it fails later on.

My magnatron went out on my 2003 model ge replaced the part but I had to pay the labor.Mine had a ten year warranty on parts.

Are any other bulbs in the home going out prematurely? If so, I would check the actual voltage of your power outlets. If not, the bulbs may be getting grease or debris on them from stovetop cooking. This can cause hot psots and premature failure. I recommend wiping them clean with alcohol on a cloth before installing them. I recommend that folks always have their hood fan on when cooking on the stovetop. Also, you might check with a local home center (Lowe's, Home Depot, etc.) to see if they have some high-quality (non-Chinese) substitutes.
