I have a GE microwave, model no. JVM1851CH02. The unit turns on, but won't heat.

Since you can get microwaves for as little as $60, or even less if you get them at yard sales (my mother paid $5 for one that just wouldn't wear out!), I suggest you toss this one (wherever you are supposed to dispose of them) and get a new one. This is one of our modern conveniences that it is not worth repairing, unless it is still on warranty.

I have a Tappan TMV151FB microwave oven that sometimes won't heat up. Any ideas?
My microwave oven seems to work fine, except it won't heat up. Is it fixable?
The over-the-range microwave oven will power on, but will not cook/heat. Is it the microwave or the outlet?
I have a fairly new microwave that has stopped heating, the lights still work but it doesn't heat. Could it be a fuse? Where is the fuse located? Loretta, Florida
