Panel mulfunction , GE Microwave Oven Spacemaker XL1800 JVM1850WH

Panel mulfunction, the microwave doesn't work properly. After setted the clock for the new time in US ET about three weeks or a month ago the microwave started to do all rare things... sometimes the "start" botton doesn't work..., another times it doesn't turn the inside light off after finished cooking..., also the inside plate doesn't spin and makes a rare noise, the same noise that the bottom light does when turn on.

We tried unplug it for hours (not minutes), several times and let it rest. I openned to verified if it was anything burned but nothing, all looks fine.

Please any word to help us fix it, I'm very handy man but do not understand of electronics.

thank you

Mark

It sounds like a bad filter capacitor on the circuit board, which we repair often, and possibly a bad door switch.

We would need to know you full model number from the tag in or on the unit.

FixYa does not currently notify us experts when someone replies to help requests, so you would need to post a new help request with the same info you did, but include your full model number.

My Ge SpaceMaker XL1800 Microwave Oven won't power on any more.

1.Check power outlet for working.
2.If it is than you have broken fuse inside the m/w.
3. To change the fuse you have to disconnect the power to m/w, take the upper grill off, take the screw on top of control panel, lift the control panel up and removed. The 20 Am fuse located behind this panel.
