Yes, exact same thing happened on my unit. Outlet/Switch were confirmed not to be the issues. Seems like a lot of these die within the first few years and the recommendation is to buy a new one vs. servicing the existing problem. I am extremely hesitant to try again based on the comments here - will need to find one that fits the same area.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.five years seems to be the life of these GE microwaves, My previous microwave went to microwave heaven after 5 years
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello - We are sorry to hear your microwave keeps tripping the circuit breaker. Since the circuit breaker has been replaced, service is recommended. You can schedule an appointment with a GE Appliance technician by calling 1-800-432-2737. However, with microwaves, it tends to be more cost effective to purchase a new one rather than repair. We apologize for any inconvenience it has caused. The new model JVM3160RFSS is a great replacement in stainless steel. Thanks for checking. Olga@GEA
