Hi, I have this microwave too, and I saw your video of the display not working but I could not comment there, my microwave is having some similar issues with the panel, some buttons work and some others don't, I tried to remove the cover like you did in your video but unfortunately I just see or reach one screw, any tip on how to do this? thank yoiu
The bottom screen of my microwave appears that it has that cellophane covering the controls and you have to push really hard to get the numbers, etc to work. I’ve tried to see where to peel the cellophane, but I can’t find it. Any advice, sir?
My microwave has a loud fan sound when not cooking but doors closed... any help? Ive unplugged it for 30 mins. Came back home and its still buzzing loudly after plugging back in.
How do you remove inside plastic vent cover. I removed inside screw behind the "push" cover and the one on top of vent to the right. It's so greasy. What is the model # for inside charcoal vent. We do not have one there. 🤦♀️ ty
The charcoal filter part number is WB02X11550. The filter just tilts into place. Also, if make sure to clean or replace the grease filters on the bottom side of the microwave
Hi, I have a PVM9005SJ.... I'm working on replacing the switches. My question is about the main door. How can I remove it? (without breaking it:). And while we are at it, what is the best way to clean it? I mean like deep clean it, not wiping the door. Can you recommend a grease cutting cleaner for the Microwave? Thx much for any answers you can give me! - Rene
I'm not sure how to remove the door. As for a cleaner, my general go-to is Simple Green and Weimans Stainless Steel cleaner. Neither of those are specifically for grease cutting but they generally do a good job.
My new GE microwave PVM9179SRSS has Chef Connect instructions but no wi-fi. My new GE range PB935YPFS has wifi instructions but no mention of Chef Connect. Does this mean I can’t connect them to turn on the microwave fan and lights? If I can, how do I do this? I called the GE help number and they say I can’t but the website help chat said I can but told me to call the GE phone no. for instructions. Which is correct? Thanks for any help you might be able to give.
From what I can tell on the product page, it doesn't look like that model has Chef Connect. Support may have thought you meant Connect + (Wifi) but that's not the same thing. Chef Connect uses Bluetooth to communicate between the microwave and the oven.
Sometimes GE has more information on their website than you can find with the included documentation. I'd check there first and then reach out to there support if that doesn't help
Mine started doing that last year. Repairman said I had to get a new control panel or microwave. I fooled around and found that if I set a tea kettle on, and hit “vent” that within a few minutes the light inside would come on and microwave worked the remainder of the day. It worked all summer without the above steps, but when cold weather came, I had to resort back to warming inside first.
