I have a defective out of warranty GE Microwave. Model WES1452SP1SS
Serial MS900938B. I am looking for the factory repair manual, if it exists. Does anyone have this document or can you point me to a information source? A new one is $100 at wallyworld so I will not pay to have this one fixed. |

Assuming a service guide exists for made in china stuff like that is asking alot. What's it doing wrong? microwaves here at work seem to all last no longer than 1 year. They usually die by catching on fire from food arcing over, so that is technically user abuse, so it's hard to blame the kids that put them together. the sheet metal they use these days is unbelievable thin, crappy and sharp though. My favorite was a supervisor back in the '70's that stuck some alkaline material used to make glass in a microwave in a pyrex dish to dry. Microwaves were relatively new then, and he stuck it in for something like 10 minutes. We were leaning against a lab bench as he talked to us when we noticed a glow from that bench. The stuff had actually melted and was working its way through the pyrex. Cooked the microwave. I guess all those OH- bonds were as good at absorbing the radiation as water. Pete Keillor |

Not sure what your microwave is doing, but I had a relatively new microwave just go dead. Found a thermal fuse inside had blown, killed power to everything. Inside the microwave was transformers and switches, door interlock, etc. plus thermal fuses here and there. Not too hard to trace without a schematic but I don't think the method would have worked if it was a main board problem or something like that. RogerN |

After I eliminated that possibility I opened it up and checked the 20 amp fuse. i need a schematic to continue. My wife needs a working microwave so I will probably spend the money and pick up a new one. I have other problems that are a lot other things that are more important in my life. microwaves here at work seem to all last no longer than 1 year.

So -- you have it open. Look on the various sheet metal inside for a small envelope (dark paper, IIRC) stuck in place. This contains the schematic folded up small. (Or at least did on mine. :-) IIRC, it was on the top surface of the deck to which the klystron was mounted, which formed the roof of the microwave chamber. The paper is thin, and rather brittle so be careful as you unfold it -- and ideally photocopy it with a magnification option as soon as possible to give you something large enough to work from -- then fold it back and put it back in the envelope.

Mine had the same symptoms, there was a few thermal fuses inside the cabinet, one was blown. I measured ohms starting with the cord, followed through the wires on the inside and was lead to the thermal fuse. The thermal fuse that was bad on mine was toward the top of the enclosure. I was about the buy a new microwave but found the problem right before heading to the store. RogerN |

And the control board hardly ever fails. A friend used to repair them and said the common problems are blown fuses. I think he included thermal fuses along with regular fuses. Dan |
