    My new GE microwave has plenty of wattage power however the turntable makes a terrible loud racket. The wheels under the glass turntable do not spin properly.

      Hi, thanks for reaching out. We did want to say that, while the turntable is turning, it is normal for the tray to hesitate, jerk, drag, or pause. If you have questions about the normal characteristics for a microwave, an article on our website titled NORMAL OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS FOR A MICROWAVE may be able to help. If you're still having issues, we'd recommend that you take advantage of your warranty as seen on page 19 of your Use and Care manual, here: https://files.bbystatic.com/0pksMLb6d99gAn8TNKKZqw%3D%3D/Owners%2BManual%2BJVM3160DFBB.pdf - We do hope this is helpful. All the best. -Michael@GEA GE_Appliances

We truly value your feedback and have passed it along to our microwave design and development team for future improvement and consideration. Please feel free to contact us any time with questions you may have as we are always here to help. -Chris@GEA GE_Appliances

    2 yr. in the unit stopped working. Had door switch replaced,unit worked for 8 months then died altogether. Not a big expense to replace but the time and effort involved with the install are substantial. Stay away from this one.

      Hi there, we couldn't be more sorry to hear your microwave quit working after just 3 weeks. We would never expect this for our consumers so we can only imagine the let down this was for you, especially since you were preparing dinner at the time. With that said, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention so that we can look into making sure this doesn't happen again and we're wishing you the best. - Guy@GEA GE_Appliances
