When the door is open, the microwave goes on and when the door is closed it turns off. I have checked the door trigger and it seems OK.

Talk about vice versa? Well it should be the exact opposite. It MUST have a microprocessor fault, unless someone swapped the wires... You will have to get it "looked at" this is a weird one.

The oven light often stays on with the door closed on model S301T It seems as if the door is not closing all the way to trigger the switch. The light goes off when pressure is applied to the door

Door and/or latch assembly is out of adjustment. Some can be adjusted internally. After making any repairs on a door or latch, the oven needs to have a leakage test done.

Runs when door is closed,stops when open!Checked the three door switches;all good.The mw is 5 years old so anyone have suggestions as i would be thanking U in advance

It is possible that a relay on the control board has stuck in the closed position. You can try tapping the relays on the main control board and this sometimes breaks them free. It still may be one of the door switches but I would suspect the control board or possibly a stuck start pad on the touch panel.

Why won't my interior microwave light turn off and my microwave won't start?

It sounds to me that your door switches aren't working.Your oven is protected by a couple of switches that engage when you open or close the door.They control a couple of safety features and also your interior light.One of them seems defective.

Ge microwave jes1290sk02 turnable spins when door opens but stop when door is closed

Make sure that the program controller is working if not check power - step down supply, the pads are responding- if not faulty pads- or the door switches, if the switch contact are not good then it will not trigger the processor to switch on the waveguides.Since the table turns without a program start and If the lights or fan work without any display or action of program being triggered to start then it can be a possible fault on the main board or the processor. Sometimes insect secretion can short the board and display panel and so the processor can work in such an erratic manner. If so clean,solder and reset the board.

Thank you using Fixya

Every time I open the door to the microwave, it goes on automatically. Even if I press the button on the door, the microwave goes on. Should I just buy a new one, or is it an easy fix?

most likely the door latch assembly and or the door switch has failed... there are approx. 3 micro switches located where the door closes... these switches all operate items such as the cooling fan,timer, clock assembly etc... sounds like one of these micr switches have failed and will require getting inside to exam with a meter and check contuinity on close and open when switch is open...good luck to you...

Hi, my microwave oven has stopped heating up the timer is just counting down what do u suggest may be the problem?

Open and do a good cleaning of the unit. now check on the thermal switch mounted on the cabin , the switch must work for the magnetron to work.
Check the capacitor of the magnettron, the fuse to the magnetron and also the line from then transformer.
The timerr unit should supply the voltage to trigger the magnetron when the door latch swittch is closed.
So check if this switch turns on when closed.
Credit accordingly.

Microwave runs on its own

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or occasionally a problem on the control panel.

Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside. Its continuity must be checked.

Door switch or mount trouble can be caused by slamming the door or by opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.

There are plastic mounts inside the microwave which hold the door switches and onto which the door latches lock when you close the door.

The screws on these mounts may be loose. If they get too loose, the switches will not be activated properly.

Sometimes it's a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just out of position. Other times, it's a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just out of position. This tab can be hard to see, since it is under the bottom edge of the switch.

One test that sometimes helps is to gently lift up on the door or handle as you try to start it. If it works or tries to work, then it's a door switch mount or door alignment issue.

If you or someone you know decide to look into it, we have critical information on safety, disassembly and door switches at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa:.

If you think the problem is on the control panel, we repair these nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in most cases.

We're happy to help you and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.
