Turntable continues to rotate.

Turn table and light stay on when micro wave is not working. Opening the door stops the turn table and light stays on. Close door and light stays on and turntable starts running.Plub must be removed from wall to stop lite and turntable. Start key does not work but all other keys do.

by the way the "not an old microwave" comment was meant as my microwave isnt old, it has only been used about 6 months and I had to put stuff in storage due to husband serving in Iraq, and pulled it out the other day, and now this is happening.....thanks again in advance for anyone helping......sandra

Hey, actually did some playin around with door and lifting it and believe it or not-slamming it several times, and each time it done the problem, then all of a sudden the light went out, and I could push the start (one minute instant button) and it worked...so I guess it would be the sagging of the door, and its actual fit when shut regular...I know it sounds like its not fixed, and it will more than likely eventually stop working, but, my thoughts are I could slam it to death and get out of it what its worth, or have to buy another one anyway....I know this isnt a fix, but I personally couldnt take it apart to tighten the door, maybe I will mess with it some more....Good Luck sorry its not a fix....Sandra

I don't have a solution - but this happened to me just after the interior light failed. Upon replacement of the light, the turn table and light stay on.

The component that controls both is the "main relay" - I've got no idea how to get at it, but it's either that relay or the board controlling the relay.

I would say you have a failing door switch or the mount which holds your door switch is loose or broken. In most designs, it is the upper door switch that will produce these very symptoms when it is intermittent or its mount is broken or loose. Opening the door while cooking (without first hitting the STOP pad) is the primary cause of door switch failure. Slamming the door, damage during shipping or transportation and sloppy manufacturing techniques or materials are the primary causes of trouble with the door switch mounts. I have a text file called "doorsw.txt" which helps in diagnosing and repairing door switch problems, and a file called "safety.txt" which is of vital importance. You can find these files via a Yahoo search. In some cases, the problem is a bad connection or a bad relay on the control board. That's something we see from time to time, and we repair those nationwide, but it's usually a door switch. If you still have a problem, please post again. Be safe!

The switch for the turntable does not disengage anymore. Could be a relais, could be an electronic switch. When opening the door, a second switch, in series with the other one, connected to the turntable motor disengages, stopping the motor. The light is switched on, because you opened the microwave. Perhaps you never noticed this, but it is the normal way that should work.

After closing door micro wave turn table continues to turn and light stays on after you open door and take out food.

My microwave starts however food does not heat up.

Micro wave as the name suggests produces heat when the micro waves aimed at an object causes the water molecules inside the object to vibrate hence producing heat.The gadget responsible is the magnetron. If your magnetron is not receiving ht voltage or receiving but faulty, then your micro wave wont work please take precaution when opening micro wave due to high voltage caps that remain charged sometimes even when it is off.check the high voltage fuse/ diode and capacitor if they are fine and the step up trans former o.k then the only option is to replace the magnetron

Microwave not working

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch or a loose door switch mount, which are pretty simple problems to fix.

Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside.

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 the switch mount is broken, it's usually more economical and safer to add a dab or two of hot glue to the mount to secure the switch. Let it cool for about 30 minutes before using.

One giveaway is that you could gently lift up (and/or push down) on the door or handle to make it work.

Advantium 120 Keeps running

I've got this problem also.
The interior light on the oven died. We replaced it. Since replacing it the light stays on and the turn table turns.

Looking at the diagram, the "main relay" is what powers both. My guess is that it's stuck in the "on" position. Solution will be replace the relay.

Long term fix may be bigger relay.

Your model number prefix of 721 means it's made by LG / Goldstar.

F9 code on an LG means either a bad door switch or a loose door switch mount.

Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside.

This can be caused by slamming the door or by habitually opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.
