Most common issues on this model

  1. Sensor cooking cycles ending early
  2. Fan speed and Boost operation
  3. Heating loss while the display and light work
  4. Door latch and switch condition

GE lists the PVM1870DMBB as a Profile Spacemaker 1.8 cu. ft. XL1800 microwave oven, 30 in wide and electric. It is rated at 1,100 W, has sensor cooking for Beverage, Chicken, Fish and Popcorn, and an exhaust fan with three speeds plus Boost. GE lists PVM1870DMCC and PVM1870DMWW as related finishes.

It mounts over a range, so the cooking and the venting both need to work. We begin with the door switches, because a misread switch blocks every mode, then test heating at full power and the sensor programs. After that we run the fan through each speed including Boost and inspect the grease filters, which are usually why airflow fades.

We confirm the exact model and serial from the label before ordering parts, so the correct finish is matched. You get a written price in advance, and repairs come with a 30-day workmanship warranty.

PVM1870DMBBPVM1870DMBB questions
The Boost fan setting on my PVM1870DMBB is weak. Why?

Often the filters are loaded with grease, which cuts airflow. If they are clean, we test the motor on every speed and the control that selects Boost, then give you the price in writing.

Why does my sensor cooking end before food is hot?

Sensor programs end on a steam reading, so a poor reading or a door switch problem ends them early. We test both, and the full-power heating, before suggesting any part.

Are the CC and WW versions the same?

PVM1870DMCC and PVM1870DMWW are related finishes under the same listing, but we match the exact number and serial from your label before ordering any part.
