Whenever the cooktop lamps blow or when they are removed or installed while the oven has power, the filaments can internally short, causing a surge which can blow the microwave's fuse and damage the circuit board.

I would suggest that you first check and replace the fuse in the oven.

There should 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.

At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

If replacing the fuse does not restore all functions, we regularly repair these controller assemblies nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid with a one-year guarantee.

The lights can can be inoperable or stuck on or stuck in "night light" mode. Sometimes this will similarly affect the fan operation or inside light, too.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

No power to the countertop oven new just bought

Many kitchens now have GFI circuit interrupters that would trip if their is a ground fault. Try plugging the oven into a receptacle in a living room or bedroom outlet to see if it works. Or plug a lamp into the receptacle that the oven was plugged into to see if it is good.

My jmc7000 jenn-air blew a circuit breaker. No power to the unit. There is power to the recepticle. I'm wondering if it blew a circuit breaker, does that mean the problem is most likely a big problem...

Yau say a few conflicting things. First you wonder if it blew a breaker, and then say you have power to the receptacle. If you have poer to your receptacle your breaker if not tripped. There are NO breakers Inside of the Microwave. Only 1 time fuses. So, if your init is dead it has probably blown a fuse inside of the unit. If that is the case. Probably shorted HIgh volt capacitor would be my first guess. If it is jsut dead. it can be other things than just a blown fuse. bad thermal protectors, bad low voltage transformer on main circuit board. Burnt wires. Anything that will cause it to lose power inside the unit. From bad parts to bad connections.

GE Microwave Model JES1651SJ-02, Serial 902410. Unit appeared to be fine yesterday evening with the clock working properly but this morning it shows no lights and keypad is not operational. Checked both...

There will be a fuse, magnetron thermostat / thermal cutout, and an oven cavity thermostat / thermal cutout.

There should 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.

When starting microwave it does not heat

Make sure the power outlet is good--try a working lamp in it. Is there a reset button in back of the unit? If still nothing, open the case and look for a blown fuse. If you find it blown, then probable causes are a shorted high voltage diode in the power supply for the magnetron or a shorted stirrer (a metal fan-like device located within the metal waveguide near where the microwave energy enters the cooking cavity) plastic bearing that has arced internally which shorts out the energy. Replace the diode, stirrer, and fuse. Test the unit with a cup of water inside the cavity (leave the case off, but keep your hands away when running)
