MAGNETRON, 99% of the time with your complaint

Use a hair blow dryer to dry out the underside of the microwave. After you are convinced that it is dry you may operate it again.

That said, if it still is acting up read this:

When the microwave sounds okay, but there's no heat, one of the internal door switches, the high voltage circuitry, or the circuit board may have a problem. To resolve this problem, you need the assistance of a qualified appliance repair technician.

I think you should check the fuse first that runs the magnatron if the fuse is good that means the magnatron is bad! but if its only the fuse then you save time and money!

model # JVM1870BF001 GE Profile spacemaker XL 1800 microwave

after episode of using defrost which burned food--now stopped heating--still has power/fan--don't know how to change fuse--please help

there are 2 fuses inmicrowave 1 for ac input 1 for high voltage transformer that will trigger the magnetron "for heating"

remedy;
uncrew the unit
replace fuse near the transformer this fuse.. usually enclose with plastic casing..
then test..


causes of blown fuse
improper ventilation

have a GE xl1800 microwave that is not heating the food. The lights work, turntable turns etc. all but no heat. Help this microwave is only 1 years old.

Hopefully steam didn't get up into it. Apparently it was the heat, but it may be miswired or have a defect in the hood thermostat or on the controller. I always recommend using the hood fan when cooking on the stove top or in the oven but that may have been irrelevant here. I would definitely recommend calling the GE Answer Center at 1-800-626-2005 on this one. If the installation was done correctly, then an exchange may be in order. Early in the warranty, you should be very demanding!
