    Replacement Parts too Expensive!

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

    I liked this microwave. However the handle broke off. And for the replacement parts ( handle and two brackets ) it is well over the purchase price. I will have to look for a different brand.

    Would not buy again! Door often gets stuck, whereas you must slam the door for it to work properly.

    re(fuse) and lose

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

    Started blowing fuses after 18 mos; replaced fuses but it’s a known issue with the door plate. Was fine while it worked but certainly not nearly long enough—shouldn’t need to do any repairs on a new appliance product so soon.

    This model used to be nicer. The handle is not as sturdy as it used to be. I hope it lasts longer than 2 years.

    Nice when they ran,but had reliability issues

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

    Bought two of these units - one in 2017 and in 2019. Liked the actual units but I had to get rid of both of them as they started blowing the circuit breaker after a while (tried 2 separate dedicated circuits). The manufacturer was good enough to replace the first one even though the warranty had expired. Hopefully they have fixed whatever the problem is, but I can't recommend this unit.

    Only lasted 5 years.

    It worked great for 5 years and then just started popping an internal fuse every other week that cost $10 to replace. After happening twice I had to get rid of this. It seems to be a very common problem.

    Generally happy with this microwave. I just hope it lasts longer than the identical model that started tripping my circuit breaker after 7 years.

    Door malfunction

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

    I purchased an open-box model. Unfortunately, the door did not function properly. It was difficult to open and I was afraid I was going to break it. When fully open, the plastic interior trim piece was actually pulling away from the inside of the door near the top hinge. I fault Best Buy more than GE on this, as the open-box model was marked as being in excellent condition; clearly it was not. This one is being returned and I ordered a new one already. I hope I have better luck with the new one.

    LED tech has been around for decades, right?

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

    the microwave itself works (it heats) but it only lasted 15 months after purchasing before the LED display started to glitch. Stop making products that don't last. It's wasteful. It will get to a point where you can't read the time or you won't be able to know how much time is left on the timer... or won't be able to read what numbers you just punched in.

    Piece of junk. Lasted a year. 2nd GE to replace

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

    Lasted just over a year and started throwing the breaker just as others have stated in their review. Now it's popping the 20 amp fuse inside the microwave which is not easy at all to replace since you have to unmount the whole microwave to remove the cover. This is the second GE I've had to replace in the last 5 years. It also scratches very easy. After the initial installation I scratched the glass with a microfiber cloth just simply removing my fingerprints. It's been in a little over a year (outside of warranty of course) and the plastic over the touch controls is all scratched up. I only bought this unit because it was the newer version of the unit I was replacing and I thought it would mount up to the same holes.....NOPE. more holes drilled in my cabinets and backsplash. I wish I would've returned it when I saw how easily it scratched the first night I had it in. If I hadn't just finished installing it , it would've been returned. Now a year later it's useless. So I'm off to buy another brand, and drill more holes in my cabinets and backsplash. Hopefully the next choice will last at least two years.

    Dissatisfied and frustrated.

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

    I just bought a newer version of this microwave because it was recommended by Consumer Report. I had an older version from 2006 of this model which I was satisfied with. This microwave's vents are in the back of the unit and the sucton is very poor and will not draw steam or smoke if you are sauteeing. Had to call GE, they sent technicIan and that is what I was told. Poor design. Very dissatisfied.

      Hello Pamela - this is Nancy at GE. We're sorry to hear that your new GE over-the-range microwave is not venting well. The microwave vent system should remove most heat, steam, and smoke from the cooktop. However, if you are boiling or simmering for long periods of time on the front burners, the vent will not always be capable of capturing all of the excess steam, so it may be necessary to use the back burners in this case. To check the vent, place a tissue flat in your hand. Turn the microwave vent on "high". Place the tissue flat against the vent on the bottom of the microwave and remove your hand. If the vent holds the tissue, then the microwave is venting properly. If it is not holding the tissue, you may want to verify that the unit was vented properly when it was installed. I hope this helps! We appreciate your feedback! GE_Appliances

    Broke

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

    Microwave worked well for about 2 years. Opened the door while it was running because something was overcooking and the breaker flipped. Microwave would turn back on but then flip the breaker everytime with use. Replaced the door switches and it started working again for about 2 months before having the same problem. Replaced again and this time only worked for a couple weeks. Have had the microwave just sitting above the range for the past 2 years for the vent, which is not great. Would not recommend this product even at the low price point.

    Only lasted three years

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

    Purchased this over-the-range microwave three years ago. When the door is shut the light and the fan turn on (but not the actual microwave function) and will stay on until the door is opened. Can't heat anything and the timer doesn't work when the appliance does this. Have to open and close the door multiple times to finally get the appliance to function as intended. Started doing this infrequently about nine months ago, however, does this consistently now. will need to replace as its so very irritating.
