Unit Electrical Problem

WE have a GE JE1590 Profile Countertop Convection Oven.  It has operated normally for about a  year, but yesterday,  it cause the circuit to trip. Unplugged from outlet and reset circuit.  Plugged into a different circuit and activated  a 30 sec cook cycle and circuit blew again.

I assume there is a short or malfuncting component.  Any ideas?

Thank for your help.

If it blows the fuse as soon as you hit the START button, it's almost certainly a shorted high-voltage capacitor.

If it blows a few seconds after you hit the START button, it's probably the high-voltage transformer. You'll possibly also smell a faint electrical burning smell from the rear vent after you shut if off.

Microwave can be very dangerous so it is best to have it looked by a professional

 

Would appreciate a solved rating for expert advise.

My GE Profile Countertop Convection/Microwave Oven PEB1590DMBB Has stopped working.

It sounds like you may have a shorted cook relay on the control circuit board which can be repaired simply and inexpensively.

A YouTube video showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes, is here.

GE JVM1790WK convection microwave

I assume you've referred to your owner's manual to be sure you are operating the convection properly?

If for some reason you don't still have your owner's manual, you can get it here. See the tips on page page 30.

You can also do a hard reset by unplugging the oven for a couple of minutes, plugging it back in, then setting the clock and trying again.

If it's still not working, you may have a bad sensor or other problem.

Unit seems to have a sensor problem: wont pop popcorn, or heat cold food but marginly heats water. During popcorn we get error message re. Sensor.

in 99 % of cases the problem is the magnatron it is a very expensive part and unless the microwave is well worth the money we normally write the units off

GE Profile JE1590--light bulb

The type of screw attaching the casing is called a Torx Tamper Proof screw. You need a Torx Tamper Proof Screwdriver to remove the screws. These screws and screwdrivers come in various sizes. I think the size you need is T20H.
