  If your GE Microwave Oven isn't starting, there are several potential causes: * A fuse in your home may be blown, or the circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. * A power surge might have occurred. Unplug the microwave oven, and then plug it back in. * The plug may not be fully inserted into the wall outlet. Ensure the 3-prong plug on the oven is fully inserted. * The door might not be securely closed. Open the door and close it securely.
