What is correct part # Magnetron for my model? The sticker on my unit is not legible anymore and I can not tell if it is 01, 02, 03 or 04. It appears there are several sub-models of JVM1660WH - 01, 02, 03 ,04. Hello, previously I asked the following question: Thanks again for any suggestions and your time, Armando. If you have any ideas based on these latest events please let me know, I would hate to have to scrap a six year old microwave. I tried cooking food and it cooked, however still had the sound as if it is dropping power with the unusual humming discussed in our previous conversations. I opened the microwave door and the unit powered on a few seconds after opening the door. When I came home approximately a half hour after the microwave stopped working I observed that there was still no power. She also unplugged the microwave and plugged it back in still nothing, no power to the unit. She stated that the breaker was still in the on position, however she flipped it back and forth. I was at work so I had her check the breaker. Today (1-3-12) my wife was cooking vegetables and was four and a half minutes into the cycle when she says she heard a pop and the microwave shut off (no power). Good luck and THANKS!!!!!Ĭomments for GE spacemaker microwave repair My only caution is that you should be fairly handy w/ general repairs or have some backround in working on anything mechanical to do this repair yourself. The diode is easily removed/reinstalled w/ a pair of needlenose pliers. Saved a lot of money with this sites excellant pictures,description and instructions. Total time involve (minus the two week wait for the diode) less than one hour. I called them back after waiting 2 weeks and it was overnighted and on my doorstep the following day. Ordered the diode from the retail side of GE and the part never arrived. Removal of the microwave took about 20 min. Called the GE parts number listed and received the magnetron tube (zero cost)in three days w/ nothing but advice to have a trained appliance tech install it. Went online to research the problem and found this website. Everything else worked fine, but no heat. My 9 year old 1,000 watt JVM 1600 series GE spacemaker microwave stopped heating recently.
