GE Microwave Repair
in Upper West Side
GE over the range microwave not heating or showing F3? We repair GE, Profile and Café microwaves on the Upper West Side, testing touch pads first.
GE Microwave F Codes Point to Sensors and Touch Pads
GE microwaves use F codes to flag sensor and touch pad faults. F3 means a shorted touch pad. F1 and F2 point to the thermal sensor, and F4 and F5 to the humidity sensor. When the microwave runs but does not heat, the high voltage system is usually at fault. Microwaves hold high voltage even when unplugged, so never open the cabinet yourself. Our technicians at Fixvero test these parts safely. This page covers GE microwaves only. For other brands, see our microwave repair service, or visit our GE appliance repair page for GE ranges, fridges and washers.

What Our Customers Say
