Thank you Sir. They're a lot easier to repair than people believe. This one had to be repaired because it isn't just a microwave. It's a convection oven, a grill, a toaster and broiler. Has a glass turn table for microwave, metal for everything else. Never knew they existed. Thanks for watching my friend.

Lò vi sóng của tôi chạy quạt, đĩa xoay, đèn liên tục khi tôi cấp điện. Chức năng nấu thì vẫn sử dụng được bình thường. Tôi đã thử thay các công tắt cửa, relay rồi nhưng không hết. Bạn có biết nguyên nhân tại sao không.
This is the translation of the question above: My microwave runs the fan, turntable, and light continuously when I turn on the power. The cooking function still works normally. I have tried replacing the door switches and relays but it doesn't work. Do you know why? My reply: Nếu đèn tắt khi bạn đóng cửa, đĩa xoay dừng lại, thì công tắc cửa hoạt động bình thường. Để tôi đảm bảo rằng tôi hiểu vấn đề của bạn. Ý bạn là gì khi nói đến việc bật nguồn? Cài đặt bộ hẹn giờ và mức công suất nấu? If the light goes out when you close the door, the turntable stops, then the door switches are working properly. Let me make sure I understand your problem. What do you mean by turning on the power? Setting the timer and degree of cooking power?
@@binhnguyenhung4919 Ok, got it. Then you still have one microswitch on the door that isn't working properly. I'd do a multi meter test on them one at a time to see if there is a failure or a short in the wiring in the harness feeding the door switches. @binhnguyenhung4919 Ok, hiểu rồi. Vậy thì bạn vẫn còn một công tắc nhỏ trên cửa không hoạt động bình thường. Tôi sẽ thử từng cái một bằng đồng hồ vạn năng để xem có lỗi hay chập mạch trong hệ thống dây điện trong dây nịt cấp nguồn cho công tắc cửa không.
@@MaxsGarajMahal tôi có lấy công tắc cửa của lò vi sóng khác cùng loại để thay vào để thay vào nhưng vẫn như vậy nên tôi nghĩ vấn đề ở board control. Nhưng tôi không phải người sửa chữa chuyên nghiệp nên không biết nó lỗi ở đâu. Khi cấp nguồn không có tiếng "bip". Đèn và quạt chạy liên tục
@@binhnguyenhung4919 The control board does control everything. If it is shorted out, nothing will operate. Here is what I'd do if I had it in front of me. I would take the microswitch you exchanged, put a multimeter on it, press the switch to see if it has continuity. Check all four of them for continuity. If any of them does not have continuity the light, turntable and fan will continue running. It can do that with door closed or when you open the door it starts the fan, light and turntable. Check them and let me know. @binhnguyenhung4919 Bo mạch điều khiển kiểm soát mọi thứ. Nếu nó bị chập, không có gì hoạt động. Đây là những gì tôi sẽ làm nếu tôi có nó trước mặt mình. Tôi sẽ lấy công tắc vi mô mà bạn đã đổi, đặt một vạn năng kế vào đó, nhấn công tắc để xem nó có thông mạch không. Kiểm tra cả bốn công tắc để biết tính thông mạch. Nếu bất kỳ công tắc nào trong số chúng không có tính thông mạch thì đèn, mâm xoay và quạt sẽ tiếp tục chạy. Nó có thể làm như vậy khi cửa đóng hoặc khi bạn mở cửa, quạt, đèn và mâm xoay sẽ khởi động. Kiểm tra chúng và cho tôi biết.
My issue was similar. Light stayed on and turn table would spin and otherwise didn't work. I took pictures as I disassembled. I replaced all 3 door switches and reassembled. Fixed the light on and turntable spinning. Plugged in and tried to run it - blew the microwave fuse immediately. Looked back at pictures to check my wire connections - bottom wire on bottom switch was not connected. Tested and sure enough this is what was causing the light on spinning. Now, my conundrum is what is causing the fuse to blow? It wasn't blown when i opened it up from the light in spinning. Any thoughts on things to check? Go back to original switches? Thank you to anyone with suggestions.
Sorry you're having troubles. Did you make certain your new switches meets minimum current amperage and voltage loads? If so, check each of them to make sure there are no current in their open mode. Check them each with an ohm meter to make sure they are not closed when they're supposed to be open. In other words you want the reading at 'zero' when closed and no reading when open.
I'm wondering if you can help me out. I have a GE microwave, the inside light stays on whether the door is open or shut (microwave operating or not) and the cooling fan runs at low speed as soon as you shut the door. I checked the micro switches with an ohm meter, all three are working correctly. I did find that one of the thermal cut out devices has no continuity so I replaced it. Now not only does the light always stay on but the fan now runs on high speed all the time. Any suggestions?
Remove the cover, check your microswitches as they control the lights, fans, as well as all other items connected to the door open or closed operation timing.
Our over the range GE Profile microwave just started doing the same thing last night. shut the door, internal light stays on and the cooling fan inside runs at low speed.
@@MaxsGarajMahal One of the relays on the control panel is stuck in the on position. The relays are soldered in place and a PITA to remove and install a new relay so I removed the bulb and I leave the door open when not in use. The cost of a new control panel is close to $200 so its not a cost effective repair. I'm planning of replacing the entire unit with a new one at some point.
Great job Max, when our microwave doesn’t work right we just buy a new one , it’s good to know you can repair them.
