    Microwave Not Good

    Sadly, this microwave broke. It stopped working on 11/10/22. The warranty is not available, because it was good for only a year. I need to find someone to either fix it or buy another one. I would not recommend buying this brand microwave.

    Absolute garbage! Just had the second one of these die in 3 years. This time it died in under 11 months. Getting a hold of GE service is worse than dealing with the DMV. I wish I could give this negative stars. I will never buy a GE product again after the quality issues with this microwave and their even worse customer service.

      Hello Rick, thank you for your review. We are sincerely sorry your microwave stopped operating properly so soon into its lifespan. We truly understand how that would be frustrating. Please know that this is not the ownership experience we strive for. We hope we will have the opportunity to earn your trust back in the future. -Chris@GEA GE_Appliances

    Had this microwave for a year and 1 month. Died while using it. I did some research and replaced the fuse still nothing. GE will not do anything for you after the year warranty. Total garbage!!! I do not recommend this microwave or brand!

    I have owned this microwave 9 months and it already has an issue. The microwave inside gets HOT even when it hasn't been in use for hours, or days. I am trying to figure out how to get a refund/replacement but that is not easy...

    The fan motor never worked..right out of the box it was broken. We will not buy another GE microwave again because of this experience. Best Buy manager did accept return and was very apologetic and professional but it was a huge inconvenience for us to have to return it and we are still looking for a replacement. It will never be a GE that’s for sure.

    Bought this micro and after 1.5 years it broke. Loved it until it stopped working. More expensive to fix, than to replace. Trying round two, hoping to have better luck with this one.

    This microwave has stopped working after a little over two years. Before that, the stove light half worked and cut off randomly. I know appliances don't last like they used to, but I expected to get more than two years out of it. What a disappointment...

    I purchased the GE 1.6 cu ft Over-the-Range Microwave-Stainless Steel on June 9, 2021. It stopped working on January 6, 2022, seven months after my purchase. Fortunately, it happened within the 12 month manufacturer warrantee which covered the repair, but, I am very disappointed in the poor reliability of this product.

    Microwave is nice, however mine was delivered damaged the first time and then returned. The second time it was delivered with no installation, we rescheduled Installation and they did not show. So we rescheduled again. When they arrived to install it, they opened the microwave and it was damaged again. Best Buy was notified by the team and they have still not contacted me.

    Microwave broke after about one week with smoke. Tried to replace and they dropped off new microwave without installing. No apologies. Tried to order another time to install well Best Buy canceled that order and the pick up S well. It has taken around 6 phone calls and a month to get a working microwave!
