    We love the Microwave but it's making a dragging sound and I cant call anyone out to look at it because of the corona virus. It sounds bad when we put time on it.

  • Loose vent filters

    Vent filters are not securely in place. One fell off while cooking and often moves when opening and closing the microwave door. Had to use tape to ensure the filters don’t move or fall.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review and choosing GE Appliances for your purchase. We would suggest ensureing that the door to access the filter is completely shut. You will hear an audible click or snap that verifies the filter door is shut. If you continue to have the filters fall out, we recommend scheduling service with a technician to ensure your filters are installed properly. You can schedule an appointment with a GE Appliances technician by calling 833-426-3393 Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET Saturday – Sunday: Closed. GE_Appliances

  • Don't buy an "Open Box" item

    Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    bought this microwave as an Open Box, supposed to have all the parts. Missing the Support Bar and the bag of hardware. What was supposed to be a bargain, ended up costing me hours of time running to the hardware store, and the cost of purchasing a generic support bar and all the missing hardware.

    The microwave is working very well. The only problem I have is there is no light to see the controls later in the afternoon and evening so in order to use it, I need to use a flashlight.

      Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We recommend disconnecting power to the microwave for several minutes to reset the electronics and double checking that a breaker or fuse wasn’t blown. If those tips don’t help, please reach out to us (GE Appliances) via private message on Facebook, X, or Instagram so that we may learn more about your situation. Make sure to include your full serial and model numbers, any service confirmation or case numbers you have, along with a copy of this review. Lauren@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    I like my new microwave. I would love it if you could read the control panel. I'm sorry I didn't read reviews before I purchased it. It is absolutely ridiculous that you cant read them at all without some kind of artificial light. dont't know what GE was thinking. My microwave from 30 years ago had a control panel you could read
