I tried everything I could find online to help me with this problem. Then I tried one more time by pushing only the word “reset”. I did not push the red light. It worked!

Hi - The Upfront Filter design found on select GE Series and Profile Series over-the-range microwaves allows for easy access to the charcoal filter and requires no tools to change the filter. Open the microwave door and press the access panel above the cavity opening where it says "PUSH" to lower the panel door.  Models with an Upfront Filter have a Reset Filter notification light on the control panel to indicate when it is time to change the filter. The light will illuminate after approximately 6 months of use to alert user to replace the charcoal filter (if used) and clean/replace the grease filters. Reset by pushing and hold 3 seconds. When the Filter Replace LED turned on,
replace filter and press Reset Filter and hold for 3seconds to reset. If the filter light remains on after reset, try resetting the microwave electronics by unplugging or by turning off power at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds or so. If you need further assistance, we encourage you to contact GE Appliance Service at 1-800-432-2737 or conveniently schedule an appointment online: http://www.geappliances.com/service_and_support/service/ - Keep in touch!

GE's 3 seconds is more like 5 or more seconds. First thing to try is to hold the button down longer. If that doesn't work then unplug for a minute and plug back in. If that doesn't work you will need a repair.

Replace the filter if dirty. Be sure to insert properly. Turn vent on. Push the word VENT and HOLD for 3 seconds. The light should go out. Turn vent off.

Piper · Answer

I went nuts. I thought I hadn’t replaced the filter, so I redid that several times. After several attempts, I kept holding the button down until it beeped twice, and the light went off. It just takes much longer than 3 seconds.

Answer

I cleaned the filter how do I turn the red light off?
