QuestionIs control panel easy to read @ night?1 customer said it's not.
Asked 10 years ago by Bren.
- Answer No its not. The control panel is not back lit. The picture of the microwave is pictured in the add as showing the buttons and numbers. But when plug in the only thing you can only see is the clock. Even when the overhead kitchen light is on i have to strain to see the numbers. Sad but the unit has to go back.

QuestionIs it possible to turn the turn table off if you don't want it to operate; for example, while microwaving in a 13 x 9 pan? Thanks!
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hello - this is Nancy at GE Appliances. We apologize for any inconvenience; however, this microwave does not offer the turntable On/Off feature. The dish, food or pan should have at least 1" clearance from the walls including the door for proper microwave ability. We're glad you checked with us!

QuestionWill this microwave fit in to a 21" W cabinet when opening the door of microwave?
Asked 7 years ago by Barbara.
- Answer Barbra; The microwave measures 20.5" wide with the door open X about 16.5 deep and 12" high. It should fit widthwise in your 21" cabinet. Don't forget you need enough room for the air vents, one of which is on the left side and the other is on the back of the microwave.

QuestionThe microwave gets VERY HOT on the outside top surface of the unit on the right side, above the light, but entire top is hot front to back? (not just where light is) Especially if I am microwaving back to back items at 2-3 minutes each. Is this normal?
Asked 5 years ago by Karen.
- Answer Yes, the hot top on right side is normal because that is where the "nucotron" is located. The instructions tell you to not have anything on top of the oven when it is in use, probably because of the heat which probably will melt chocolates in a box.

QuestionIs the matalic paper on the right interior side a part of packaging and removable or permanent fixture of the microwave?
Asked 9 years ago by Radmo.
- Answer Hello Radmo - this is Nancy at GE Appliances and I am happy to help you. The cardboard cover on the right top or side wall of the microwave interior is there by design. The cardboard (mica) covers the waveguide system that feeds microwave energy into the cavity and should not be removed. The microwave should not be used for any function if this cardboard cover is not in place. If removed, it would require service to replace. I hope this helps! Thanks for checking with us!

QuestionDoes the interior rust/paint start chipping off over time (within 2 years or so)? Does it leave puddle of water inside from the steam when cooking is done?
Asked 8 years ago by Rororoyourboat.
- Answer Hi Rororoyourboat- Thanks for considering our GE Microwave JES1145SHSS! The white epoxy interior is quite durable and holds up well. If properly maintained, you should not expect rust/chipping. To keep your microwave looking like new, we suggest to view the following link for tips on cleaning the interior: http://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=17377 - Also, while there will generally not be a puddle, it is normal to have moisture on the floor or walls of the microwave cavity while cooking, especially if you are microwaving liquids or foods with a high water content (ex. Potatoes). The moisture will dissipate on its own; however, you can also wipe off the moisture with a clean, dry cloth. Keep in touch. We love hearing from you! SUE@GEA

QuestionI have removed all the blue film from the exterior.. I see this yellow sticker on the control panel that says "Remove protective film" Can someone confirm that there is a clear control panel film to be removed. Don't want to end up like this picture.
Asked 4 years ago by JayDee.
- Answer Thank you so much! It was hard enough to peel that blue coating off! My husband took the sticker off before I read what it said. I was trying to get the glue from that sticker off and thought - maybe there is another protective coating to be removed! I will hope I can remove it as you did!
