    Noisy fan won’t go off

    The microwave works fine, the problem is I can’t get the fan to turn off. I read the directions, followed them, but it still goes on every time I use the microwave. It is loud and annoying when not needed. I was thinking of returning it, but installation is too hard, so I’m putting up with the noise.

      The fan will operate automatically under certain conditions. An automatic fan feature protects the microwave from too much heat rising from the cooktop below it. It automatically turns on at low speed if it senses too much heat. If you have turned the fan on you may find that you cannot turn it off. The fan will automatically turn off when the internal parts are cool. It may stay on for 30 minutes or more after the cooktop and microwave controls are turned off.

    Solid and Stylish Microwave

    This is a solid microwave. It’s the second time I’ve purchased this model. I just replaced the first one after it reached its end of life after 6.5 years. I consider my household a heavy user, as-in, I use it to warm up snacks and beverages, and cook parts of meals daily. And because it’s OTR, it’s also used as a vent for the hot stove. It does everything I need it to.

    Maytag replacement microwave

    They no longer make the Maytag microwave so we went with the GE. The size is about the same and we needed that biscuit color. So far, no more tripping breaker and is defrosting as it should.

    GE Microwave Uncertainty

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Associate planned to give me a dented and torn box that looked repackaged. I said I won't accept this one because inventory showed 5 pieces in stock. He wasn't happy about going back and getting me a better looking carton. As for the microwave, I'm hoping to get at least 5 years out of it. The same previous model lasted 6 1/2 years. I had a Panasonic Microwave prior to purchasing GE and that one gave me 16 wonderful years of service. Engineers are now hired to make new units fail right after the warranty expires. This is the new norm. Get ready for it. That's all I can say.

    Walked in Best Buy to purchase a microwave and bring it home with me to install myself. Walked out 5 minutes later with it in my car and drove home. Had previously tried to buy the same microwave at Home Depot which has no product in stock and makes you pay for shipping. So much better experience at Best Buy.

    New GE to replace our old good GE

    Replaced a 23 year old GE microwave that still worked but the surface lights stopped and the display had faded. This replacement actually cost less and is almost identical to our old micro. 23 years is good service. We're hoping for similar service from our new GE.

    Deal of the day. Got this on sale. We needed a 36” but no one makes those anymore so this was the next best size. . Easy to install. Fan motor was already in the correct position. Works great and matches my other GE stainless appliances.
