  • Seriously it cost you nothing. If you find that you are having issues with your microwave specifically in regards to your panel this video will help you! Does the panel have power? Functions not working? You've come to the right channel!

    Sir , You just helped a 75 year old man fix my ge microwave. Your instructions were easy to follow and given clearly. Your safety tips gave me the confidence to give it a try. And it was all right on.. Didn't have to look at any thing else.. My wife of 51 years was very happy. Now she won"t have to go back to her wood stove;; Thank You

But when I search here in the youtube channel. How to fix the microwave panel? And you came up your video, and I follow your video, unplug the microwave power and full out the panel board, the connection was fine, except the wrapping cable got grease. So I clean it up very well and dry for it. Then when I install back the panel board and plug in back. Its working properly, and my wife was so happy. Thanks for the video its help a lots and learning something how to save the money to repair the appliances.

    Well. That explains one thing. My panel will not repsond to a touch on any button... except the timer button. That makes sense because all of the other buttons involve priming the machine to turn on heating. But the timer does not engage the microwave it only engages the timer. Since the timer doesn't need the door safely closed to operate, it will respond with a beep even though none of the number buttons will respond .
    I am going to check this out right now. BRB.

  • @redpat8832

    Thanks so much. I have a home warrantee policy and will probably still have to spend $75 for a service call, since it is a bit more than I want to try, but at least I know more than I did before, and can make sure whoever they send is careful and competent. 👍 Tip: Start a bank account for repairs. It is actually cheaper in the long run not to use these warrantee companies, and to just buy new stuff at some point, but my home was new over a decade ago, so I have paid a lot into warrantees, and feel I need to suffer with them now, to get some return on my outlay.
