    Best Buy installer did not wire correctly so the microwave oven shorted out when he tried to set the clock.

    This is the third GE microwave we have owned. This one died in 14 months. Now waiting for a technician to come and check it out - that is what the extended warranty buys you. The previous ones died and were repaired several times. Don't waste your money on this substandard product. Buy something else. Going to buy a standby LG instead.

    It sparks when cooking frozen vegetables just like our last GE microwave that caught fire. And the button to open the microwave is impossible. I would not buy this or any other GE microwave again.

    Do Not Buy! Ours arrived and would not work out of the box. It took an additional week to get a replacement. 4 weeks without a microwave. Not the end of the world but it is unacceptable in today's market to have to wait for an on the shelf product. Of course going into a store is a complete waste of time as the employees do not have any answers to simple questions.

      We hate to hear that your microwave was not functioning properly out of the box. This is not a normal occurrence, and we're glad to hear you have a new unit that's functioning properly. We're confident you'll continue to enjoy this unit for many years. GE_Appliances

    Don't believe all the bad reviews

    I did a lot of research on a replacement for our 20+ year old GE microwave and ended up getting basically the new improved 'same' model. Larger capacity, quieter and just a efficient as the last model. The unit fit perfectly and performs without any issues. The door button does need to be pressed as the new springs have the original tension I'm sure our old model had prior to years of use. That's a good thing but did need to get used to a 'new' stronger button. This unit is so much quieter and has a better fan for the exhaust - again, great to have a new improved unit. I would get this again if I had to replace it. The color is GRAY, not stainless steel. The stainless steel surround is what makes it match the GE stainless steel products e.g. double oven etc. Great look altogether

    After about a year you will regret it. We're on our second 1 in 3 years & the push open is broken again. There's no good or easy fix for this & there is only a 1 year warranty. It is not a cheap microwave & there should absolutely be a recall on it.

    Waited months on microwave, when it was finally delivered and installed half of the touch screen functions did not work. Why are these not checked aty the factory and prior to delivering to the customer?

If you haven't done so already, we recommend you schedule service with us by calling 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737) Monday – Friday: 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. ET or Saturday – Sunday: 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. ET or by visiting the "Schedule Service" link under the "Owner Support" tab on our website. -Chris@GEA GE_Appliances

    Grinding noise

    I purchased this for a kitchen remodel. It was delivered today. Thankfully, the driver reminded me to try it out within 2 weeks so if there is a problem I can return it. When we turned it on the first time, it was making a terrible grinding noise that caused me to shut it off immediately. I have to believe the fan blade was hitting something. Perhaps it was not installed properly during manufacturing, because there was no evidence of damage to the shipping carton. I'm surprised they didn't know about this from QC testing before shipping it.

    Got the kit but the parts in the box did not match the parts that the manual said should be in it. Seemed like there were parts missing. I made several phone calls but no one could resolve my issues so I just took the whole thing back to the store and they opted to give me my money back rather than try to figure the whole thing out. The lead time on a replacement was so long I decided to reorder from someone else at a slightly higher price
