    Question to change GE microwave fuse

    Thanks. I plugged my cell phone and the line got power. If I keep it unplug for several days, will the capacitor be fully discharged?

    Question to change GE microwave fuse

    Hi, My GE (JVM6175EKES) microwave made a large popping sound and then no power or anything. I am thinking the fuse might have blown needing replacement. I watched a few YouTube videos and got somewhat scared knowing about the capacitor. Will I be anywhere near the capacitor thing to replace...

    I tried to open the valve manually. One worked and the other 2 ( which were not working through timer) did not. However when I also see water seeped from one sprinkler from each zone. It's surprising because I know these 2 works sometimes. Any idea what should I do next? Thanks.
