    We have a brand new one, and it still barely heats.
    Is there a higher setting than 1-10 and if so, how do you do it?

Magnetron may be defective. Replace the magnetron by a new one.

My 10 year old GE Spacemaker XL1400 microwave has stopped heating the microwave's contents.

probably a magnatron failure
take it to an appliance repair shop for a proper diagnosis and get a quote as repairs can be more expensive than new unit

I have a ge spacemaker XL1400 model # JMV1440WD. Everything works fine but it will not heat anything. Any suggestions?

The magnetron (the part that heats the food) may be bad or the circuitry to the magnetron may have burned out. Basically my advice is that if you have no electrical expertise, it isn't worth fixing. The magnetron if bad, costs almost as much as a new microwave. If you open it up (make sure it has been unplugged for a few hours and don't seen any obvious burnt parts (including a fuse), then most likely the magnetron is done and a new microwave is the way to go.

Let me know how this works out for you.

it sounds to me like the magnetron is shot in it. this is the part that creates the heat. not worth repairing on a 10 year old unit. Sorry.
