To reset the filter on the GE PVM9179SKSS microwave, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the microwave and unplug it from the power source. 2. Find the vent filters on the microwave. They are made of metal and can be used multiple times. 3. Use the tabs to slide the filters to the back and pull them down and out to remove them. 4. Clean the vent filters by soaking them in hot water and detergent. Avoid using ammonia or ammonia products as they can darken the metal. You can lightly brush them to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake, and let the filters dry before putting them back. 5. To reinstall the filters, slide them into the slots at the back of each opening. Press up and to the front to lock them into place. 6. Plug the microwave back in and turn it on.

How long does a microwave last before it loses power?

A microwave lasts an average of 2000 hours before it loses power.

Is it bad to turn on a microwave empty?

Yes. Turning the microwave on empty can result in damage to the microwave. When the microwave is empty, the microwaves are not absorbed by the food.

Is heating food in the microwave bad for your health?

Reheating food in the microwave is not bad for your health.

Which food should not be used in the microwave?

It is not wise to put peeled food in the microwave. The heat cannot escape through the skin, causing the food to explode.

Why is my GE PVM9179SKSS microwave not heating the food properly?

There could be various reasons for this issue. One possible explanation is that the power setting might be too low. Simply adjust the power level to ensure sufficient heating. Another reason could be an improper placement of the food inside the microwave. Make sure that the dish or container is microwave-safe and positioned correctly on the turntable for even heating.

How can I defrost food efficiently using the GE PVM9179SKSS microwave?

Defrosting food in the microwave can be done quickly and effectively. Select the appropriate defrost function on the control panel and enter the weight of the food. The microwave will automatically calculate the defrosting time and power level for you. Remember to turn or rearrange the food halfway through the process to ensure even defrosting.

Why does my microwave display an error code and stop functioning?

An error code on the display usually indicates a specific issue. For instance, "F3" might indicate a problem with the temperature sensor. In such cases, it is advisable to unplug the microwave from the power source, wait for a few minutes, and then plug it back in. If the error persists, it may be necessary to contact customer support for further assistance.

How can I avoid food splatters inside the GE PVM9179SKSS microwave?

To prevent excessive splattering while cooking in the microwave, cover the dish or container with a microwave-safe lid, vented microwave-safe plastic wrap, or a microwave-safe cover. These options allow steam to escape while keeping the inside of the microwave clean. Another tip is to place a microwave-safe plate underneath the dish to catch any potential drips.

Why does the turntable of my GE PVM9179SKSS microwave not rotate?

If the turntable is not rotating during operation, it could be due to an issue with the turntable motor or the roller guide. Firstly, ensure that the turntable is correctly positioned and not stuck. If it remains immobile, there might be a motor malfunction. It is recommended to contact technical support for assistance in diagnosing and resolving the issue.
