check the hooks and door release button and repair or replace, when this is broken, the switch is not close the microwave will not START. SEE the diagram God bless you
The only fix for it is to either buy another control board $300+ or if you are any good at wiring you can go the the hardware store get a manual toggle switch and install it under the microwave on the right hand side near the control area. But make sure the switch can handle the heat rising from the stove burners. We have about 120 of the microwaves on our properties and 6 of them have this issue. The relay internal switch becomes corroded and binds together from steam and boiling water. GE is JUNK.
This is a shorted relay on the control circuit board, which we normally repair for $39.95 nationwide.

This light failure often
occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament
shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first
unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a
failure on the controller.
The lights can can be
inoperable or stuck on or stuck in "night light" mode. Sometimes this will similarly
affect the fan operation or inside light, too.

Yes, I know you probably already got rid of the microwave oven but maybe this can help others. I had the exact same problem, it turned out one of the door switches desoldered itself from the PCB, leaving an ugly black PCB.
All I needed to do is remove the dirty residu by wiping and polishing with a simple pencil eraser and drill away the burned part of the PCB and resolder the switch using a piece of wire to the right PCB track. The switches probably are ready for repleacement and I did notice the relay on the other PCB also looked bad (Ormon G2R-1A-E 12VDC) you might wan to replace that.
All in all it is wise to look for something new.
If you want to fix it, also have a look at the vents on the underside just behind the controls. There is a big chance these are clogged.
I have never seen a microwave that doesn't burn popcorn if you use the "popcorn" button. Why the manufacturers keep putting them on I'll never understand. There's nothing you can do change the presets on an oven since they are built into the controller. Instead of relying on the oven, you should follw the directions on the bag. These tell you to use high power, stay by the oven and stop the cooking when the time between pops drops to 1 or 2 seconds. Stored heat will continue to pop kernels for a bit, and you won't cremate your popcorn. You'll also avoid the possibility of the bag catching fire and damaging the oven, which I have seen several times. Finally, don't expect 100% of the kernels to pop. There wil always be a few duds, and extending the cooking time just results in burned popcorn.
open the oven there are two or three safty switches near door one of the switch is for light if it is short then only light will remain on.by opening door light should come on set the time and hit start light will come again. replace that switch and it will be ok
The controller needs to be repaired.
We regularly repair these control board assemblies for only $32.50 nationwide, and that's much cheaper than replacing the board.
