GE microwave codes

On a microwave the code replaces the clock on the display. Unplug the unit for a minute to see if it clears, and note the code before you do. GE writes letters and numbers together with no space, so E22 is one code, not E2 and 2.

Models covered: JVM3160RFSS, PVM9179SKSS, JES1460DSWW.

About GE codes

GE Appliances, now owned by Haier, mixes legacy GE boards with newer connected platforms. Washers and dryers tend to use E or D codes, ranges and microwaves use F codes, and refrigerators show Er codes. The codes apply to model numbers such as GDF630PSMSS, GDT665SSNSS and GTD65EBSJ0WS; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.
