GE JES2051SNSS 1.0 cu ft 950W Countertop Microwave with Sensor Cooking MECH-NOPOWER Error Fix: No Power — Display Blank

Error code MECH-NOPOWER on the GE JES2051SNSS 1.0 cu ft 950W Countertop Microwave with Sensor Cooking means: No Power — Display Blank. The microwave has no power, the display is completely dark, and no buttons respond — check that the outlet has power (test with another device); if power is confirmed, the most likely cause is a blown internal line fuse (a ceramic fuse inside the microwave cabinet); a blown fuse often indicates another underlying problem such as a failed door interlock switch or a shorted magnetron; WARNING: the high-voltage capacitor inside a microwave can retain a lethal charge even when unplugged — do not open the cabinet unless trained in microwave repair
