SOURCE: no heat micro keeps cycling through all programsdemo in cook/bx

My GE doesn't have a Demo mode but say we have a power failure. It won't let me use it until I set the clock.

Try that and see if it helps

SOURCE: GE 1800 XL not heating, no power, except fan works and clock also

Hello :

It could be bad door switch or loose door switch mount . There are plastic mounts inside the microwave which hold the door switches and onto which the door latches lock when you close the door.

The screws on these mounts may be loose. If they get too loose, the switches will not be activated properly.

or it could be problem with the control panel .


good luck .

please rate !

SOURCE: Microwave Circuit trips First:

The outlet with the red button is a GFI (ground fault interrupter) type. It may have been damaged when the microwave overheated. If so, it may trip when loaded.

You should do a full two minute heat test with a cup of water with the oven plugged into the standard type outlet that you tried second.

If it works fine, then i would suspect that the GFI outlet has failed and needs to be replaced. "When in doubt, throw it out", as they say.

The microwave does not need a GFI type outlet.

But do be sure the microwave's internal cooling fan is running properly.

When I say internal cooling fan, I do not mean the hood vent exhaust fan which you can turn on and off manually.

I'm instead talking about the internal fan which comes on automatically whenever you microwave.

It is vital that the cooling fan runs, or the magnetron will soon be destroyed.

We have a sound clip of what a microwave should sound like when the cooling fan and high voltage section are working.

If the turntable and/or inside light do not work when you cook, that's a bad sign, too.

If the microwave still fails in the standard outlet, it has a problem that needs to be addressed.

If you need further help, contact me directly or post a new detailed help request here and include your full model number from the tag on the oven.

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

How to clean liquid under round grate oven base?

Avantiums are heavy. Underneath the turn table mechanically is only the turn table motor and the frame of the microwave. I would let it sit for a day and dry out before using it. But in the long run it might create corrosion and eventually you will need to replace your turn table motor. But I have seen liquid spilled into the turn table motor and be fine. You may create more damage by uninstalling your microwave to clean up the spill.

Coffee spilled microwave while heating now microwave is dead it is a general spacemaker what can I do

Wow, generally a spill in a microwave shouldn't be catastrophic, but if it blew the wall plug, something bad happened. What do you mean it blew the plug? Did it simply trip a GFI? a breaker? Either way something must be amiss inside. Best case is a blown fuse in the microwave. You can look inside for evidence of a short but follow all safety practices and ensure the unit is depowered and steer clear of the big capacitor as it could still be charged.

Spilled water on microwave

If there was a short, it must be checked out as the fuse would have blown specially with water on the high voltage sections of the magnetron and the PCB. Remove the panels and dry them fully, check the fuse and once you have blown air into and dried, connect to check if the power supply works, If so check if there is any spark due to moisture in the wave guide, check this link: Microwave tips

A cup of water spilled in my whirlpool microwave and was immediately plugged out, water wiped out and then when I plugged it back in the light came on but also a "cooking sound" I am afraid to...

Hopefully you did not short anything out.

Typically microwaves can handle minor spills.

Unplug the unit..tilt it backwards to drain any excess water..

Let it sit for a day or more to dry out completely..leaving the door open..

If nothing shorted..and I doubt it did..all should be backto normal. Plug it in and test it out.



Best of luck

I spilled liquid through the top grate of the microwave by accident and it has dripped through to the inside. Is the microwave ruined now or is it still safe to use?

Hello,

Its not ruined and it's still safe to use.

But before use, make sure you dry up the visible liquid, and wait for some hours before using the microwave again so that the liquid would dried up by then.

In summary, it is advice-able that the liquid dry first before using the unit again to avoid electric shock or damage to the unit.

I hope you understand the above.

Good luck.

Everything seems to be working except it won't heat anything it just suddenly stopped heating.

Did anything spill or blowup inside? Remove the glass tray and be sure all is clean and dry.
If something did blow up (food or liquid), find the small mica window on the inside, and carefully remove it, clean up, dry off in the cavity too, and replace it.
Try to use. This has fixed 3 different microwaves for me. Hope it helps you.
