GE Microwave/Hood Combo PVM1870SM1SS WILL NOT SHUT OFF!


Owned since 2000. Unit fan and light stays0on & continues to run until door is opened. It repeats once door is closed.

The unit will not heat food,but I have power to everything else. I found the HV capacitor was shorted and a 20amp 250V fuse was open. The magnetron ohms is correct and not shorted to the case. I checked the thermosensors and found one normally closed and one normally open. Without a schematic I am concerned about the thermosensor that reads open and if this is correct. I think the HV transformer is ok but will find out when I replace the capacitor and fuse.


Do you own this unit? Please describe repair issue you are having.

How long did you have this microwave oven for? What is the problem with it right now? What kind of diagnostics did you perform? Any earlier repairs?
