First thing to check would be the door switch, located behind the control panel on front. That was my similar problem

Expanding on David Emmel's answer above, there is a thermostat mounted on top of or very close to the magnetron. That would be the thermostat which could be defective. After being tripped a few times, a thermostat will go bad.

But you do need to verify the original problem, which is the fan is not running or your vent is clogged or if it's an over-the-range type your filter may be clogged, the ductwork maybe clogged, or the outside vent outside your home may have an animal nest in it.

Possibly an overheat condition causing a thermal cutout to open up then resets when cooled down. Make sure fan is running that cools the magnetron tube.

We have had problems like this before. Most likely the smartboard is defective.Check with manufacture to see if there is a recall.You should be able to find them on the web.

SOURCE: Microwave Fan won't shut off, no display

Depending on which brand you have I would think that the Thermal switch on top of the magnetron or one of the door switches has probably given up the ghost. However, if the display does not come on you probably have a micro or Psu fault on the display panel. Not to be attempted if you are not familiar with microwaves or electronics. Please unplug before opening. Good Luck, JUS004

SOURCE: The power is not on anymore.

It ended up being just a $2.50 fuse. Thats all. Glad I didn't have to pay someone $80 to walk through the door and tell me that. Don't you hate that!

Our microwave now does a constant humming noise when it is plugged into power.

Time for a new microwave! Service fees start at $50 just to look at it, not including repair parts. Sounds like the power supply is dying, and would cost at least $50. So go find a brand new $100 microwave, and save yourself the time!

The start button stopped working. Everything else works on my MCD990B.

I think you are right on the money, the keypad control board is vital to the operation of the microwave oven, if the problem cannot be resolved it will require a complete replacement of the above mentioned part, unfortuneately cost should be considered.

Oven won't shut off

One of the door switches is defective, caused by a build up of food particles or normal ware, to correct this a professional will need to identify the problem and replace it.

Hello, I have a samsung over the range SMH4150. It is not vented outside> the other day I was heating a potato (2 minutes) and the oven was on as well. The microwave got VERY hot and shut off...

Yes I do think the fuse is bad. It is in line with the power cord. It's normally a 20 amp ceramic type. They are readly avaidable at any applinace repair shop or sometimes Radio Shack
Good Luck and I hope this helped.

Microwave power turns off after a few sec running incl oven power

I would suggest having whoever installed the new appliances come back and check out his work. There might be a poorly made electrical connection somewhere, and you might have a potential fire hazard.

You might also have gotten a lemon microwave oven. This happens sometimes. (Usually when I buy something.) Contact the store where you purchased it and ask if they have a service person who can check it, or just tell them what's happening and you want a replacement. They'll just return yours to the manufacturer.

In any case, have this checked out to be sure your wiring isn't at fault.

No power to GE Spacemaker Microwave

I have model GE Microwave serial # JVM2070SK02. I start to cook something and it shuts off 5~10 seconds. Keyboard is still lit up, but no clock, fan, light and you cannot operate anything on the key pad. Unplug the unit and it resets. Sometimes it cooks, sometimes it doesn't? It is getting more frequent with the shutting down problem?
