If the microwave is blowing fuses the common cause is a defective door switch.

GE spacemaker XL microwave oven blowing fuse

If it went dead almost immediately after pressing the Start pad, that's usually a shorted high-voltage capacitor.

If it went dead several seconds after pressing the Start pad, that's usually a failing high-voltage transformer.

If it goes dead or blows the house fuse or breaker (or GFI) when you plug it in or open or close the door, then there's a problem with a door switch or door switch mount.

If it's intermittent or random, it may be a bad connection, usually on the control board or a loose fuse holder, or even an intermittent fuse.

You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number from the tag on the oven here.

Here's a YouTube video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Hi! Our GE Spacemaker microwave (JVM241BL) stopped working..... nothing on it works at all. We have checked the breaker box in the basement and made sure it is plugged in. We are assuming it is a fuse...

Turn off the power before starting this process. If the oven is dead, the fuse is probably blown. Remove the two screws that hold the touch pad and control board in place to access the fuse. Once inside, look towards the back and follow the power cord that enters the rear of the microwave to the fuse. It should be a 15 amp ceramic fuse.

Nothing is working - it is dead - we have checked the breaker which is fine - we have unplugged and replugged it - any suggestions or is it time to get a new microwave? It is the GE Spacemaker 1000 watts

You have a blown fuse. There are about 5 reasons why this can happen. It can cost from 10$ if you do it yourself to 150$ to fix a microwave. So the cost of a replacement is always something you have to balance out. If you are technical, and own a meter, you can fix it yourself (with some parts)

Have Spacemaker XL 1800, which overheated tonight (accidentally set "heat" rather than "timer" :-() and went "dead"/completely black. It is now cool; I have unplugged and replugged but nothing is...

usually these units reset automatically after a shock! It takes time for the over load circuit to reinstate power. If by 5 hours you have no luck , then the internal ceramic fuse has blown ( under top of cover)

Dead micro

It could be a bad in-line circit breaker fuse. Unplug the microwave and take the outside cover off. Look for the in-line circuit breaker fuse. Use a plastic fuse puller (not your hands or a metal tool as there is still voltage stored in the microwave even when it is unplugged). Look at the fuse and see if it is blown. (The metal wire running length of tube will be broken. If you have one, test with an Ohmmeter.
