Micorwave won't heat/turntable turns when door opens

Microwave Repair

I have a GE microwave/convection oven. Recently the turntable has started to turn as soon as I open the door and the inside light is just a little bit dimmer than it was before this started happening. It was like this for about a week and now all of a sudden, it is not heating when I turn the microwave on. I have had the microwave for about a year and my husband bought it used. I have 4 kids and I use it all the time so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just in case it helps, the convection oven is not working either. The turntable turns and the light comes on when the door is open, but stops when I close the door. The light is dimmer than it was before the problem began when the door is open. Nothing heats at all anymore.

I had to replace some parts in the ice container/dispenser on this unit due including the auger and motor after a sustained power failure (and water leakage into the motor. While dismantling the parts from the auger, the parts slid off before I could get a good fix on their direction.

After quite a few attempts, I still can’t get the ice to dispense reliably. Motor turns and I can get cubed or crushed ice, but a lot of time there is no ice dispensing, even though motor is turning and auging.

It is a little tough to really tell from the exploded diagram which way the parts go, and in relation to the ice container itself, which are 'inside the bin, and which are underneath.

The blades are labeled A, B, C. And I think the order from top to bottom should be C, B, A, with But are the labels facing up, or down? I have them facing down now.

Can anyone confirm? If anyone has some real photos of the assembly that would be great.

Also in the exploded view, the step spacers (part 8 in the diagram) are both shown facing down. But it looks like they want to be facing opposing each other, in order to properly receive the (larger diameter drilled) stationary ice blades.

Watching the assembly in action ( is also possible that the auger is sitting a little high, and not fully agitating the ice closest to the chute opening. So I’m trying confirm the part order and direction.
