If the light works what does not work? Some of these have a safety switch embedded in the door opening (have to get at it from inside the unit) that will prevent unit from cooking and not allow the table inside to rotate.Its there to prevent the unit from being used if door is open but it sometimes either fails or gets out of position.

It sounds like instead of an overheated magnetron thermostat tripping the power, you now have a defective door switch.Our door switch help file is here.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. 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.

please adjust and test the following switch: replace or repair if necessary.God bless you

Your microwave turning on by itself is a "self preservation feature" of the GE Profile Advantium and maybe some other models. Read the manual, When your over the range oven gets warm enough, for whatever reason the venting fan comes on until a satisfactory oven temperature is reached. You are not permitted to shut the vent fan off. Also it seems a temperature near room temp must be achieved before it shuts the fan motor off, it is very annoying. We had to return our Advantium because of fan noise. I configured the ovens vent fan to the recirculate direction because we do not have a vent duct that exits the house over our range. When the vent fan acting as the ovens cooling fan automatically turned on we would have to leave the house to hear each other talk. Too bad we really liked the oven other than that major problem.

yuo may secure your microwave add a shelf in betwen cabinet

The oven MAY have a thermal switch that forces the fan on when hot.If it stays on when fully cool then there is a problem.

place something els in that walsocket.a light to see if its not ,thewalsocket.when the light lids up you know walsocket is good.for the fuse,look on the backside,it says FUSE.sometime they,are so big that they are inside the device.in that case see manuel or contact seller.do not touch the inside of devices.the device can turn off do still has power on inside like tv.and you dont have to touched just come nearby and power jump tru you,so be carefull

The problem is more than likely a bad door switch, a digital meter is the best option for testing to find the defective one. If you have one post back for instructions or have serviceman repair it.

From the descriptions it likely the magnetron has failed. If you have a digital multimeter post me a comment and I will give instructions to do a rough test.

Most likely a defective magnetron.
