Timer, light and control pad worked. Turn table and heat did not work. Oven would not start up.
I first read where someone had the same problem. Their solution was a burned-out fuse. I ordered a new fuse...installed it and that did not solve my problem. I revisted PartSelect and read how Marla (from Arlington, TX)solved her problem. I purchased a secondary switch and when it arrived, I made a copy of Marla's instructions and followed them to the letter. I installed the new secondary switch into the secondary space, put everything back together and the oven STILL DID NOT WORK. I had to take the latching panel apart again and test each switch to see if there was another bad one. I found that the third switch was burned out. So I took the new switch out of the second slot and installed it into the third slot. I tested the switches before reinstalling the latching panel. This time everything worked. So I put everything back together, reinstalled the microwave on the wall, tested it again, and everything worked perfectly.

Wrong cooking tray in the microwave
Replaced the 16" tray with a 14" tray. Works great now. Took about 20 seconds to take out the old tray and put in the new.

Door Switch went bad, Internal Fan would run every time you open the door
Unscrewed the control panel (2 screws), lift up and let hang, with a plan screwdriver open bracket holding the switch, unplug 2 wires, replace with new switch, plug in the 2 wires, push switch back into bracket. Then slide on the control panel, put the 2 screws back. Easy fix.

The Turn Table Didn't Work Every Time.
Remove tray and rotating ring assembly. Turn the microwave onto the back. Locate the center plate and cut it loose with the side cutters. (Note: there are retaining slots on the opposite side) these slots hold the cover plate in place when reattaching. Use a magnetic phillips head screw driver so you don't drop the cover retaining screw. After cutting loose the cover, unplug the wires from the motor. (Note placement for correct reattachment). Remove 2 screws and remove old motor. Replace motor. Replace the screws and reattach the wires. Replace the cover (rotate so the prongs fit into the slots) tighten screw; you're done!!! I ordered the rotating ring, but I don't need it. Now I have an extra.

The problem I had with the Microwave Oven was noise when Plate was rotating
After contacting GE support I realized the only interest they had in helping me was to recommend sending a $$$ technican to diagnose the problem. I decided to go to the Sears Parts select website.to see if others were experiencing the noise me microwave was making. After reading through others posting on the subject I decided to purchase the Synchronous Motor. While waiting for the part to come I decided to lubricate the hub of the spides that rotates the plate with white Lithium grease. After a couple of times utilizing the microwave noise went away so whn the part arrived at me home I put it in a drawer just incase I need it a some future date. Hope that someone else finds this information useful. "The Crafty Dodger in Houston"
