2 years old, new in Feb 2007, $1300 Combination Speedcook/Microwave Advantium, GE Profile, In Wall SCB1001KSS
Thunderstorm last night and now the LED Display is out. I searched the forums for this model and didn’t find anything. Have been unable to find a schematic blow-up or accurate part number. The lower part of the LED display works, small yellow print text "locked, oven, turn dial", and the Microwave works. You can press Express and the MW runs for 30 secs like it is supposed to and the small "oven" illuminates and your coffee warms up. Anyone have thoughts or suggestions? I’ve attached the Display PDF #11 (upper portion, LED). Is the LED unit fried? Is there a fuse protecting the display? A link for a step by step. I installed it and don’t mind taking it out for a DIY repair. Thanks in advance.
Remove the microwave outer case and look for an envelope with the tech sheets and the wiring diagram. If you can post the wiring diagram it might help too.
Gene – thanks for the advice. This GE design is nuts. First off, you can’t get to the LED display without removing the unit from the in-wall setting. I pulled both side trim pieces, pulled the bottom trim finish, pulled 9 screws from the sides and top and the whole display unit looks like it is fastened from the inside. I pulled both access panels from the side of the unit. IE there is no way to remove the Control Display w/o pulling the unit and then taking the entire case off (guessing then I should be able to pull the single LED unit). Needless to say, that is a bigger job that it should be. Poor design from GE (probably by design to discourage owner MX). I’ll pull it out this week. Thanks for the referral to the pictures. I had seen those but my unit is only labeled KSS01 on the inside of the microwave. KSS01 refers to a table-top model and I was not sure mine was the same unit I actually checked the product label on the inside of the microwave. Another disconnect.
Gene – when putting the case on (while I wait to order the part/part to ship), I came across the Schematic (in an envelope, taped to the inside of the metal case). I’ve posted it here in case it helps someone else (lots of info, not just electrical diagram). And even crazier, when I put the whole thing back together and put it back in the wall to use while awaiting for your answer … plugged it in for minimal use awaiting the repair, the DIGITRON now works – just like new. Like resetting your computer, Freaking Amazing. Time consuming, but cheap repair - $0 - , how long will it last? Cheers
After reading just to unplug, I just flipped the breaker and the display reset. Much easier than pulling the machine out from the wall. Thanks everyone for the advice.
