Fanlike vibration comes on by it'self

Activate to avoid unintended start. Touch and hold the Cancel control for about 3 seconds until 2 tones sound and padlock icon appears in the display. Repeat to unlock control.

All microwaves make some noise when running. Cooling fans, exhaust fans, turntable motor, transformer, and magnetron all make noise. I assume you mean some unusual noise. I need to know more about what kind of noise it is - a loud roar, a rattling sound, a high-pitch squealing sound, a "clunk-clunk" sound or what? By the way, a "klunk-klunk" sound is frequently caused by small debris stuck to the wheels of the turntable support tray. Try cleaning those wheels and the track they roll in.

should be a cover inside the unit,where you can gain access to the bulb.

It certainly sounds like something is wrong. My first GE microwave was like this and it wasn't advertised as anything special. After a long life I replaced it with a Sharp (makes most all microwaves) and was disappointed at the cycling on and off. Now Panasonic makes what they call Inverter microwaves with continuous power. I recently bought a GE (probably made by Panasonic) with this Inverter technology and am very pleased with it. Make sure the microwave you have says AccuWave on it, if it does, it sounds like the magnetron may have been replaced with a non-continuous type of magnetron. Was it bought refurbished/returned/clearanced? I think when I was researching this that it MAY have something to do with the type of power supply to the magnetron and not so much the magnetron itself.

If the door is loose the interlocking switches will not engauge properly and the fail safe systen will deni access.

Hi,

Microwave Oven Basic Troubleshooting Tips

Remove cabinet cover and observe what's going on.

The only way to get to the fan, is to remove the housing cover. It should only be a few screws and that should free it up. But PLEASE be careful! Unplug it first (of course) and keep away from the magetron, which is usually located on the right side. Close to it is a capacitor that can hold a high voltage charge for an extended period of time!!! Keep away from it!!!

I hope this helps! :)
