Ge Jes1142sj Microwave Stopped Working
I have had this microwave for a year and a half. Tonight it abruptly stopped working with no signs of distress or any beep beeps when it ends. It was very hot on the outside. It was unplugged, and it is not working. Actually I'm afraid of it now. I was using it like I always do. What could have happened? Have there been any recalls on this model or any fires?

Make sure that the unit is vented properly and that if you are using it for prolonged periods while cooking, that you turn-on the vent fan.
If there is no display / power within the unit...first check your power source where you plug the unit into the wall.
If that is good, Remove the Cabinette/Cover "Note: it has 3-Torx Anti-Tamper Screws".
Then as you face the microwave from the rear, at the left rear corner is a small circuit board with a fuse. "Check the Fuse"
If the fuse is good, Check the following:
1 - The most common component failure is the "Cabinette TCO" (Thermal Cut-Off Thermostat).
As you face the microwave from the rear...It is located under the cover, on top, on the left front corner area.
It is a Circular, Black & Silver Disc Shaped component about the size of a dime in diameter and is about 1/2" in height.
It has Two (2) Wires attached to it's spade connectors and it acts as a safety fuse.
"IF YOU PUT AN INSULATED JUMPER WIRE ACROSS THE 2 TERMINALS THE POWER SHOULD RETURN AND THE DISPLAY WILL LIGHT"
Anything other than these two items should be checked by an Authorized Service Technician as these microwaves have components thay carry "HIGH VOLTAGE SHOCK HAZZARDS"
HOPE THIS HELPS! JIM
