We purchased the stove in 2012, but due to a delay on a remodel have just stared using it and every time we use the oven it smells like burning plastic and taints the food we are cooking
New ovens do have a certian amount of "burn in" to do when there new best to heat up and cool off oven several times before actuall food use to remove any construction solvents and "cure" all the materials inside
also ck to make sure you removed all the shipping packing sometimes this gets left inside by accedent and smells something horrible when heated ( caution :: Foam degrades to cyanide deadly gas when heated!!!!)
SOURCE: melted carousel in microwave / bad smell
For the smell, do a Google search for "smell microwave" or "odor microwave" for many great tips.
If you need a new turntable support, you can order Sharp parts from Tritronics at http://www.wehaveparts.com
It's part # FROLPB017MRK0
SOURCE: Plastic shield card is burning up!
It is my understanding that you can't get parts for a Welbilt Microwave anymore. The good news is that you can make one work from another m/w. Take your shield to a local appliance parts dealer and find a shield a little larger than yours. You should be able to cut it to fit your oven using the old one for a pattern. The rivets shouldn't be a problem as Whirlpool, GE, and Maytag all use similar plastic rivets to secure the shields.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, Mike

Generally, the most common causes of a failure to heat are:
- bad door switches or door switch mounts
- loose connection at the magnetron
- problem or loose connection on the control unit circuit board
- bad magnetron or other high voltage part (such as a shorted diode)
If you or a friend decide to look into it, we have critical safety information, info on door switch diagnosis and replacement, and
disassembly information at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

You either have a bad magnetron tube (5 or 10 year parts warranty item through GE Factory Service 1-800-432-2737 or www.geappliances.com) or a shorted high voltage rectifier. I think the light being out is a secondary problem.
SOURCE: I have a JVM1630WB GE Spacemaker microvwave oven.
It's almost certainly a shorted high voltage rectifier diode or a failed magnetron.
We have
the service / repair manual for this model and have uploaded
it to our
site here for free download to help you.
It will
give you safety info, step by step help in disassembly, troubleshooting
tips, and part numbers.
Here are some handy links you
or someone you know can use for test help:

(if it's not shorted or burned, it's
probably okay)

At
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
There
should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit
behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating
components.
You can also find
helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full
model number from the tag on the oven here.
If
it's within the magnetron portion of the warranty (for this model it's 10 years from the date on the tag inside the unit)
but out of the original full warranty (1 year), then your
manufacturer will cover the part cost, but not the cost to visit you or
the labor charge to do the work.
G.E. they will
send you the magnetron to do it yourself. Call them at 888-239-6832.
Be persistent. You may have to speak with a supervisor.
If it is not within the
magnetron warranty, you can find helpful
exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model
number here.
Accessing some
components
(especially the oven cavity thermostat) for testing and possible
replacement will require you to remove the oven from the wall and take
off the outer cover.
If
so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have
two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.
You can

owner's manuals and installation instructions here.
