JVM1190SY01 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Upon taking the faceplate off (unplugged power source first) I found one of the wires going to the THERMO SW-TCO SENSE TEMP was completely burned away. I cut back the wire and spliced a new section with heat shrink connectors and I replaced the THERMO SW-TCO SENSE TEMP. I plugged the power back in and it works great.

Removal of this "over the counter" appliance was required. After wrestling the appliance from the wall ( the most difficult part of the job) the cover was removed for a visual inspection. The circuit board revealed burned resistors and a capacitor was fried. The 15 amp fuse was not blown. I was able to loosen the circuit board from the framework by removing a few screws and unplugging the leads that were connected to the board. There are two screws inside the oven door jam that secures the circuit board. Once these are removed the circuit board can be pulled out to a point where the screws that hold the circuit board and wire connectors can be accessed and removed. A new circuit board can then be installed simply by reversing the prosses. The board was slightly over $200.00 but my oven was a combo microwave/convection. A new microwave/convection oven would have at least $500.00.
