We have a GE monogram ZMW2000 microwave, about 14 years old. When we shut the door, the fan and light are on, non-stop. If I set it to run for x seconds, and hit start, it will run for x seconds, then the microwaving shuts down but the light and fan stay on until i open the door. As soon as I close the door, the fan and light go back on. I turned off power for a few minutes but had the same problem as soon as I turned power back on. Any help is appreciated. Mark
Just checked the GE website. Had the same problem with my 5 year old microwave. GE website says to close and open the door quickly three times. First time I did this it didn't work. Second time I closed the door with some significant force and reopened it more quickly. Worked. Unplugged the microwave, plugged it back in, still fine.

ge jvm1740dm1ww about 2 years old light stays on and fan runs till door opened then stops but starts when door is closed again but it will still microwave just fine
I have the same problem with my S/S GE profile microwave that is 2 years old. I have to leave the door open at all times except when I'm using it otherwise the fan/motor and light stays on if the door is shut. I've had to leave the door open so much that the light burned out. Microwave works perfect except for this problem.
I have the same problem with my over the range 1 year old GE microwave. We have to leave the door open or the fan will run all the time. What gives?
