Microwave won't stop running or starts when door closes? A faulty door switch is likely the cause. This safety switch is a 45-minute DIY fix.
The first symptom was our microwave would continue to run after the time was up. The light would go out, the turn table would stop but you could still hear the microwave running and whatever was in it would continue to cook. The only way to stop it was to open the door. It was intermittent at first but eventually it would always run no matter what as long as the door was closed. Several other posts referenced these switches as the problem. I just replaced both and problem gone. It turns out... Read more
Microwave won't start or heat but light works and timer counts down? A faulty monitor switch is often the cause. DIY repair typically under 30 minutes.

Microwave not heating but lights and timer work? The high voltage diode converts AC to DC for the magnetron. DIY repair in 1-2 hours with basic tools.
Wife let me know the microwave was making grinding noise while I was in garage fixing her car starter, never a dull moment. Further questioning she also said it wan't heating the food. Due to being an odd sized built in $$ unit I had to have repaired. I was getting quotes in the $4-500 range for just the magnetron. I was pretty confident the magnetron was the issue and also ordered a new capacitor and diode since I was going to be in there and a lot of money ahead repairing myself. About... Read more

Microwave shuts down during use? This thermal cutoff thermostat prevents overheating by interrupting power when temperatures exceed safe limits.
My daughter that she turned timer on but hit cook with nothing in the microwave. I was able to figure it was one of the four thermal cutoffs. It was obvious which one literally fried. Replaced that one worked like it was new. Took a lot of photos while dismantling and labeled the screws. Wasn't that hard just be careful of the capacitor Read more
Microwave not heating but lights and fan work? Buzzing noise when running? The magnetron generates microwaves to cook food. Moderate DIY repair difficulty.
Contacted a AppliancepartsPros tech. Told him what was wrong with my GE Microwave with range hood which is 24 years old. After trying to cook popcorn it made a buzzing noise and didn't heat food. He told me it was the magnetron. I ordered it. Received it approximately 3 days later. I installed it and it was back in perfect working order. I am happy. Saves me from purchasing a new microwave for over the stove which would be very expensive. Thank you AppliancePartsPros. Mike. Read more
