Question about GE JVM1440 Microwave Oven

Microwave Turns on automatically

Three to four times per day, my microwave oven comes on by itself. It is running in a programmed way; for example it says it is defrosting or cooking vegetables, etc. From the display screen you can see it is running these fixed programmed cycles (cooking vegetables; defrosting, etc.) This microwave was manufactured in Feb. 2006 but was only recently used. Any suggestions on how to delete the preprogrammed cooking cycles from the memory of this microwave will be appreciated. AJ

    I'm having the exact same issue. I unplug overnight, but sure enough, the next day it will do the same thing. I'm pissed because I've only owned it less than 1.5 years.

Probably a defective keypad. Check with manufacturer; some brands have issued recalls for this problem as it is a fire hazard.

In the meantime, unplug oven or leave door ajar when not in use to prevent it starting on its own.

I would remove the plug from the mains for at least one hour. This should remove any memory

Microwave turns on by itself

You have a shorting membrane keypad. If and when an oven is coming on or doing anything by itself, this is very dangerous and can result in a fire.

So please leave it unplugged or leave the door open.

Microwave turns itself off after a couple of seconds

Q - My microwave seems to shut off every once in a while, what might be wrong?
A - Make sure you hear the fan is still operating in your microwave. Next is to make sure the air intake grill on your microwave is not plugged up with air borne dust and dirt.
Q - The fan in my microwave oven is not running will this hurt my microwave?
