When I open the door of the R-1490 the fan continues to run. I left a cup of previously boiled water to see if the microware was running and it is not. The issue is the fan, also I checked the switches on the door and they are in place. At a loss at what to check next.
thanks
switch internally shorted, it was the bottom switch that was the called a secondary . When you press the button onthe switch you could feel it being bad.. No spring feed back.

The microwave oven is not safe to use, the fire has compromised the interior of the oven, if you run the microwave it will start to arc and eventually short out the magnetron, because the white enamel paint has been burned away. If you have holes in the ceiling there is danger of radiation leakage, for safety reasons the oven should be replaced.
I just search the way the micowave was put together and I found out how to open the side on the door to get to the latch after I open the door I don,t think the latch is the problem the hook for the spring is broken so I think I will replace the door
That would be a defective secondary interlock (bottom door switch) or its mount.
We have
the service manual for this model and have uploaded it to our
site here to help you.

Door switch
or mount trouble is usually caused by slamming the door or by opening
the
door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.
There are
plastic mounts inside the microwave which hold the door switches and
onto which the door latches lock when you close the door.
The screws on these
mounts may be loose. If they get too loose, the switches will not be
activated properly.
Sometimes it's
a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just
out of position. This tab
can be hard to see, since it is under the
bottom edge of the switch.
If you only need a
switch, you can order a universal type here for $5 postpaid.
If you think the problem
is on the control panel, we repair these nationwide by mail
for $39.95 postpaid in most cases.

It's probably a bad door switch or switch mount.
If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info (as well as a text file which helps in diagnosing and repairing door switch problems) at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk
