GE Microwave JVM1540 will not turn on. I have checked the power outlet and it is working. I have plugged other items in the outlet and the outlet is working, The microwave will not come on and there is no power coming from the microwave.

Yes it can. The instructions are at the back of the enclosed manual.

The problem is more than likely the magnetron when it is running.

Hi, try the microwave in another outlet, if it works there then the first outlet is bad but if the microwave does not work in another outlet then the microwave is faulty and you need to take it back to the store and get another one as a replacement...

you will have to replace the microwave, sounds like a burned out magnetron, replacing the magnetron is almost as expencive as a new oven...

CHECK THE MICROWAVE MANUAL LOOK FOR FACTORY WARRANTY ,MUST BE A BAD COMPONENT ,IF YOU MICROWAVE IS UNDER 1 YEAR WARRANTY THE FACTORY WILL REPAIR IT AT NOT COST TO YOU..CONTACT GE FACTORY.

No, but as with all electronic items faulty ones typically show themselves up during the first few months of use.

You've probably just been one of the unlucky ones.

Membrane keypads are not very durable, and do fail after a relatively short time.

The only method is to replace them as a spare part.

If it came installed in the house, it may have its own breaker switch. I'd check the breaker. Have any outlets in the kitchen gone out as well? This would support the breaker switch idea.

Hope this helps.

all...you should first check to make sure the outlet you're using is good. Really. Next, check internal fuse and thermosafety in the unit. They are both found inside the button area. The safety is about the size of a dime and 3/8 inch thick with two wires. Sometimes they open. They should be continuous. Not it? Let me know.
