To reset a GE microwave, you can follow these general steps, but please note that the exact method might vary depending on the model. Always refer to your microwave's user manual for specific instructions for your particular model:
Unplug the microwave: Start by unplugging the microwave from the power outlet to ensure it is completely disconnected from the electrical supply.
Wait for a few minutes: Allow the microwave to sit unplugged for about 5 minutes. This will give the internal circuits enough time to discharge and reset.
Plug it back in: After the waiting period, plug the microwave back into the power outlet securely.
Set the clock: The display on your microwave may now be showing a flashing clock or no display at all. Follow the instructions in your user manual to set the clock. Typically, you'll press a "Clock" or "Time" button and use the numeric keypad to input the correct time. Then, press the "Clock" or "Time" button again to save the setting.
Test the microwave: Check if the microwave is now working as expected. You can try using the microwave for a short period to test if it is functioning correctly after the reset.
If you find that the microwave still doesn't work or there are specific issues, it's possible that there may be a more significant problem, and you may need to consult the user manual for troubleshooting tips or contact GE customer support for assistance.
