The "PF" on any appliance indicates a power failure. So if you lost power in a recent storm, this would cause your problem. Pressing the cancel button should clear up your problem, and put you back in business. If not, unplug the unit, plug it back in and try the cancel button again. If trouble persists, your board is probably at fault.

    I tried to clear the PF code but nothing works. The only buttons that work are clock set and vegetable preset..no other buttons make a noise or operate ..we DID have a kid / popcorn smoke out in the microwave the day this all started so I was assuming the smoke made soot posable and did something to the board or button panel ? Is that possible?.. what else could I check

SOURCE: It doesn't heat anything. Could putting metal in

This is usually caused by a "Blown" magnetron, and or the High power Diode And YES, putting metal inside the MW, will cause it to fail.
You need to get a "Quote" for any repair, as the repair may cost nearly as much, as new unit. Also the new unit will have a warranty.

I have a GE Profile Spacemaker 2.0, MOD Number: JVM2070SK02 Last week the thing stopped heating anything. Sounds fine, but won't heat. Any tips?

okay thats sounds like you have to take your microwave to a repair man.the HV capacitor can be open or the magnetron is bad these 2 components i mention are responsible for the heating of your microwave if they go bad..then your microwave wont heat.good luck.

I have a Kenmore over-the-stove microwave oven that is not heating food. Everything else works. I received a message of PF on the keypad. Is there anything I can do before I have to call a repair...

PF - Power Failure - PF error code indicates a power failure during the cycle.
Press and HOLD start to continue the cycle, or press off/pause to clear display.

My GE JES1656 will not work. Check the fuses and nothing blown on the panel. Tried other appliances in the same outlet and they work. Microwave oven is about a year old...any fixes??

Probably the "oven temp/flame sensor" if you make microwave popcorn and the vents on the left hand side are restricted. Gets pretty hot. This part cannot be reset and has to be replaced.

I have a GE microwave model JES1334WD01. Last week it gave me an error code of F3. The owners manual does not cover this code. Now, when it's plugged in, it beeps incessantly.

Go to this link about error codes for GE microwaves. Just copy and paste into your browser.

GE MICROWARE WON,T HEAT UP

Likely problem: Blown magnetron. On microwaves, this can generally go dead, usually with a popping sound. Solution: A: Call an appliance repairman to replace the magnetron in the device, or B: buy a new microwave. Depending on how much you paid for it, you might be getting a better deal on either end.
