The GE PVM9179SRSS is a current GE Profile 1.7 cu. ft. convection over-the-range microwave oven. The convection element adds its own heating circuit — a microwave that heats but won't brown/convection-bake should have that element tested separately from the magnetron.
GE microwaves (JVM over-the-range and countertop families) report F codes: F1 (open thermal sensor) and F2 (shorted thermal sensor), F3 or F10 (shorted touchpad or touch screen), F4/F5 (humidity sensor), and F6 (temperature probe). A displayed 888/8888 or PF is a power-failure clock reset rather than a problem. See microwave repair and our microwave error-code guides.
