  If your GE Microwave Oven isn't starting, here are a few things to check: * A fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. * There may have been a power surge. Unplug the microwave oven, then plug it back in. * The plug may not be fully inserted into the wall outlet. Make sure the 3-prong plug on the oven is fully inserted into the wall outlet. * The door may not be securely closed. Open the door and close it securely.

Why does 'HOT' appear on the display of my GE PEB9159SJSS Microwave Oven?
- T
  Tina BellAug 31, 2025
  If 'HOT' appears on the display of your GE Microwave Oven, it indicates that the temperature inside the oven is greater than 200°F, which is normal. Also, if one of the sensor cooking pads was pressed when the temperature inside the oven was greater than 200°F, these features will not operate when the oven is hot.
