I have a GE Profile Microwave Model JES2251SJ02. Was working fine yesterday morning. Now when I press "start" the internal light comes on, the display shows that it's supposed to be cooking at 100% but the fan does not come on, the turntable does not work and it does not function in any way. The display shows the cook time and it will remain on the display for a few seconds and then return to the clock. Door handle is latched securely. Display seems to work just fine as I have tried to work with the "options" menu to try and find a solution. Any ideas? Thanks.

This is usually a bad door swithc or loose or broken door switch mount.

If you or a friend decide to look into it, we have critical safety information, info on door switch diagnosis and replacement, and

I had the same problem, but seem to have fixed it last week. Thank goodness, because with 2 little kids, I really need the microwave.
My January '05 model JVM1653 would intermittently have a flickering display then reset itself after about 3 seconds into a full power heating cycle (it was still ok on reduced power). I don't know what the problem was for sure, but protecting the front panel circuit board from radiation seemed to do the trick.
I put a sheet of aluminum foil in a ziplok bag (I used the gallon size, but the 1 qt size would probably do just fine), taped a "twistum" tie with the plastic stripped off the ends of the wire to one corner of the aluminum sheet, and then sealed up the bag and put a piece of tape on the corner of the bag where the wire was hanging out. With the front panel tilted out, I attached the other bare end of the tie to the green ground wire screw. I then "stuffed the ziploc into the open behind the panel while trying to keep the circuit board as shielded as possible. I carefully closed up the front panel, making sure i didn't get the ziplok punctured by the circuit board stuff.
So far so good!!!

The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.
