GE microwave oven fan on with door open?

Our GE microwave and stove vent has a problem. When one opens the door, the fan turns on. The door latch has 3 microswitches and on one YouTube video they replaced the bottom two switches to correct the problem. About 4 months ago I took the switches out and tested them when the failure occurred and they tested good. After reassembly all continued to work fine until now. In the meantime, I ordered new replacements. Today I replaced the switches and all works correctly once again. Hopefully the problem is solved; only time will tell.


We purchased the microwave in 2002. I replaced the magnetron with a free warranty repair in 2011. It is a great microwave.
