our GE microwave Spacemaker JVM1340BW suddenly stopped working.....think

Hi 3Kyle....Your fuse is #1626...If there is nothing showing up on the display then it may be the fuse...If the display is showing then it may be as simple as a door switch...The problem is ,when you remove the cover to access the components you will need a meter to detect microwave leakage...If the fuse is blown then it blew because of internal problems...It could be the Magnetron...Capacitor..Power supply..Etc..I would have a qualified tech look at it or replace it....The voltage in a microwave is very dangerous .Here is a bulletin on this subject..Thanks Bob

Electrocution Hazard with Do-It-Yourself Repairs of Microwave Ovens

CPSC Document #5061

The U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warns against do-it-yourself repairs of microwave ovens. Each year, on average, four people die from electrocution trying to repair their microwave ovens. Microwave ovens use high voltage which makes it particularly hazardous for consumers to remove the cover and touch electrical parts. The possibility for electrical shock from a microwave oven still exists even after the oven is disconnected from the power source. Should certain internal devices fail, even unplugged ovens can cause serious injury.

The Commission strongly recommends that consumers have professionals repair microwave ovens because electrical appliances can be hazardous if consumers expose live electrical parts.

/!\ WARNING

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
HIGH VOLTAGE

Removing the cover of your microwave oven and touching an electrical part can kill you.
