With the symptoms you
have, I would most strongly suspect a shorted high voltage rectifier
diode or a bad magnetron.
The diode is a fairly
cheap fix, and the mag will cost more and is more complicated to replace.
Here are some links you
or someone you know can use (in order given) for test help, but read
the safety warnings first:
http://www.gallawa.com/microtech/diode.html (if it is NOT shorted,
it's probably fine)
http://www.gallawa.com/microtech/mag_test.html (continuity can be good even
though it is bad!)
There
should also be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit
behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.
You can usually find
helpful exploded view diagrams and order
parts by
entering your full model number here.
If
it's within the magnetron portion of the warranty (usually 5-9 years)
but out of the original full warranty (usually 1 year), then your
manufacturer will cover the part cost, but not the cost to visit you or
the labor charge to do the work.
If it needs a new magnetron, you'll have to remove it from the wall, then remove the outer cover. If
so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have
two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.
You can download GE
owner's manuals and installation instructions here.
If you want to contact GE about having an authorized servicer look at it, or have them send you a magnetron, GE Customer Service is here.

How old is this dryer? If it is older that 15 years get a new one. You don't want to deal with the headaches. The motor may be going bad on it and the wiring could be melting. I assume it is not working now. Have him check the breakers. Make sure the connections are o.k. in the back. Clean out the lint piping and look for lint underneath it as well.
