GE Spacemaker Microwave Oven

GE Customer Service is here. They may be able to tell you if there is a "drop-in" replacement available for your model.

Otherwise, you'll have to take down the old bracket then mount another model in the space.

Hi,
That is not that hard to fix and you can easily buy the parts yourselfonline...

Here is a tip that will help you with the online buying...

The problem is in the keypad controller, the microprocessor is mounted on a circuit board along with other parts behind the keypad. Now if this can be repaired it will come down to the availability of a replacement keypad module, you would need to check with the manufacture to see if they carry any stock and price. There might be a possibility that a appliance repairman or tv technician may be able to repair the module if replacement is not available.

While replacing the cooktop light can be done by accessing the cover on the bottom of the oven, replacing the cavity light will require you to pull the oven from the wall and remove the outer cover.

The installation instructions are very handy in this case, and it's best to have two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.

I just pulled my ge spacemaker xl1800 out. The mounting plate installs on the wall and two 4-6 inch bolts go through the cabinet above and into the top-front of the unit. The two top mounting holes are about 8 1/2 in. from the back of the unit and about 1 1/4 in from the side. If you don't have the mounting bracket that comes with the unit, you will have to use a 2x4 or similar to support the back & bottom of the unit.

Unfortunately, there is no way to tell which part the microwave needs without opening it up for examination. There are a few parts that, if defective, would prevent the oven from heating.

• a high voltage transformer which passes energy to the magnetron
• a magnetron which converts high-voltage electric energy to microwave radiation
• a magnetron control circuit (usually with a microcontroller)

This is NOT a repair that you would want to attempt yourself. The labor for the repair would cost a minimum of $50 and shouldn't exceed $100. You'll also have to pay for the necessary part if it's still available from the manufacture or their parts distributor.

I have the same model and the instructions at this site on how to remove it will help you. The owner's manual is useless. Good luck!

I would contact GE Customer Service here.

If you give them your model number, they should be able to give you the model number and nearest dealer for a comparable replacement.
