I think my cooling fan inside the oven failed.
I can not find any info on it to test to see if it is any good. Has three terminals on it. One has a single black wire, the other has a black wire and orange wire, and the third has a white wire and a pink wire to it.
Not getting continuity from the terminal with the single black wire to either of the other two terminals, but am getting continuity between those two terminals
Automatic fan feature protects the microwave from too much
heat rising from the cooktop below it. It automatically turns on at
low speed if it senses too much heat.
If you have turned the fan on you may find that you cannot turn it
off. The fan will automatically turn off when the internal parts are
cool. It may stay on for 30 minutes or more after the cooktop and
microwave controls are turned off
You can test it by pressing the vent fan button

That is not the same fan I'm talking about. NOT the vent fan. The cooling fan that comes on when the oven is started. I need to know hot to diagnose if it is good or not.
I'm not going to replace a fan motor without confirming that the motor is bad. The motor is special order and NOT returnable.
I have been having problems with two different microwaves in two locations. One, a Goldstar, and the other this GE. I found the problem on the GE. One of the wires to the cooling fan did not have a good connection to the quick connector. I fixed that and it's working fine now. The Goldstar, it turns out, is just the door switch on top. But what I did notice is that there is no cooling fan in the Goldstar. It uses the ventor fan. And the cabinet behind the control in the Goldstar is empty, especially comparred to the GE, which is full and hard to even get your hand in. It helps that I found a wiring diagram for both units. The GE diagram was tucked in a black envelope away from the electronics. (Hmmmmm) The Goldstar had their's tucked right below the control on the inside.
Did you READ the "Experts" solutions?
One had no idea of a second fan motor and the other said to replace the fan or call a service technician. I repair Heating and Air Conditioning equipment for a living, and in the last week I spent a lot of time trying to fix my microwave. I did fix it and it had NOTHING to do with the so called "Expert" advice given. There was a bad crimp of an electrical connector to the wire. Also, one of your "experts" can't even spell properly!
If I had followed one of your "expert's" advice, I'd be out about $85 and still have a microwave that doesn't work.
If you feel this is fair, then I feel it fair to post this as a reply to your experts advice.
