dis connect from power alow to reset for about a minute . if not there are switches behind the door probably not making good contact make sure door is closed tightly
SOURCE: Arcing
My Advantium was arching at the turntable. Replaced the turntable roller assembely (that hold the metal or glass plate) and the arching went away.

You have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo)
and then you'll see the previously hidden screws you need to remove.
Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I
made) that demonstrates how it's done.
You can usually find
helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full

SOURCE: Advantium 120 fan and tray keep running
Looking at the service manual here, I'd bet that relay number RY6 is shorted on the "sub PC" relay circuit board, or its driver transistor on the main "smart" board is shorted.
Unless your technician does component-level repair, he'll probably want to just sell you a new sub board, or main ("smart") board, or both.
They list for $64.78 and $109.83 respectively here. Hard to tell what they'll mark them up to.
Then add about $150-200 for the labor.
On the other hand, we regularly repair such control units for
customers nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in about a
week with a one-year guarantee.
Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your
full model number) for more information & help.

Looking at the schematic in the service manual here, I would say relay RY6 on the small sub PCB (relay board) has shorted contacts.
That's the relay that runs both the fan and turntable.
It's possible that it may be a bad connection or driving component on that board, but in my experience, it's virtually always a stuck relay.
The part number on the relay as shown in the photo is hard to read, but it looks like "OJ-SH-112LM".
I should have one of these or I can point you to one if you want to contact me with the exact number.
Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your
full model number) for more information & help.
