I have a GE Microwave oven model JVM1790SK01. The nite light wont turn off, I pulled the plug, reset all the features but the nite light is still on, how do I fix that?

MICROWAVE PROGRAMMABLE AUTO NITE LIGHT Some over-the-range microwaves had a programmable Auto Nite Light feature, which will turn the surface lights on low on at a specific time. The Auto Nite Light feature can be set to turn on and off at any time desired.
Follow the directions below for set-up:
  1. Press the AUTO NITE LIGHT pad.
  2. Enter the time the light is to turn on. Select A.M. or P.M.
  3. Press the AUTO NITE LIGHT pad again and enter the time the light is to turn off. Select A.M. or P.M.
  4. Press the AUTO NITE LIGHT pad once again.
  5. The word NITE will show in the control window as a reminder that the feature is set. The settings can be reviewed by pressing AUTO NITE LIGHT.
To erase the settings and turn off the automatic feature:
  • Press the AUTO NITE LIGHT pad, then press the ZERO pad.
  • The NITE indicator will no longer be lit.

MY stop/clear button doesn't stop all the time.

It may be making noise, and the light comes on, and the turntable goes around, but I'll bet it's not actually cooking (although that CAN happen). Try putting a cup of water in the microwave when this happens and see if it gets warm. If it does NOT get warm, then you just have a bad door switch. If it DOES get warm, then you have a stuck relay on the control board, and the control board will have to be replaced.

Samsung model smh7178std, shut the door and the fan and lights come on automatically, if i lift up on the door the fan shuts off but light stays on.

some switches are normally closed "short position" press switch "open" it will be labeled NC on the one side, "stands for normally closed" and others will be NO "stands for normally open" press switch "short" if there is no change in readings when you press switch it is defective.

I got the automatic ignition on the stove top wet last night and it will not ignite the gas

I always wipe the area with a paper towel. The I turn on the gas and ignite it with a match or lighter. Let it run for a little while and it should dry out the ignition so that it will light automatically the next time, I hope this helps. You may have to do it two or three times to assure it's completely dry and capable of lighting.
If this helps, please come back to Fixya and rate my solution!

Does the exhaunst fan turn on automatically when we cook or warm food items in our Samsung Microwave -- SMH 9187W?

Some interesting reading on page 8 of the owner's manual:

"Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite and spread if the vent fan is operating.To minimize automatic fan operation, use adequate sized cookware and use high heat on surface units only when necessary."

And on page 20:

"If the temperature becomes too hot around the microwave oven, the fan in the vent hood will automatically turn on at the LEVEL 2 setting to cool the oven. The fan will automatically turn off when the oven has cooled down sufficiently. This is an automated process and cannot be turned off. The fan may stay on for 30 minutes or more after the cooktop and microwave controls are turned off. The Vent Fan will only operate in 1~4 levels modes while the microwave is working."

"Using the Vent delay off button
1. Press the Delay Off button once to turn the fan off after 1 minute.
2. Press the Delay Off button twice to turn the fan off after 3 minutes.
3. Press the Delay Off button three times to turn the fan off after 5 minutes.
4. Press the Delay Off button fiour times to turn the fan off after 10 minutes.
5. Press the Delay Off button five times to turn the fan off after 30 minutes."

Microwave seems to turn on when door latch is opened

What's happening is you are activating one door switch a little before the other, and that is causing your light, fan, and turntable to come on. The plastic parts are not perfectly rigid, so they flex a little when you press the button, and that causes the lag to be more apparent. Even if you press the door open faster and look really close, you may notice the light, fan, and turntable coming on for a split second. That's perfectly normal. The relay on the control board must also be turned on before it will actually be cooking.
