I have a GE Profile microwave/convection model JVM1790. It keeps heating unless you open the door
1. Defective door interlock
2. Control board failure

You probably have a bad thermistor.
You can usually find
helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full
model number here.
(At that site, that part is misspelled as "thermister" for your model).
There
should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very
helpful
when troubleshooting & testing.
At
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
Accessing some components for testing will require you to remove the oven from the wall.
If
so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have
two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.
You can download GE
owner's manuals and installation instructions here.
We're
happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your
thoughtful rating of our answer.

This is a sure sign that the magnatron needs replaced ( This is what heats the food!) replace and all will be good again!
PLEASE rate my response to your question
Thank
You!

Assuming your inside light and turntable come on when you try to microwave, with the symptoms you
have, I would most strongly suspect a shorted high voltage rectifier
diode or a bad magnetron, or a loose and possibly corroded connection on the magnetron's terminal.
If
it's within the magnetron portion of the warranty (usually 5-9 years)
but out of the original full warranty (usually 1 year), then your
manufacturer will cover the part cost, but not the cost to visit you or
the labor charge to do the work.
GE Customer Service is here.
Otherwise, the diode is a fairly
cheap fix, and the mag will cost more.
If you or someone you
know
decide to look into it, we have critical safety information and
disassembly information at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa.

probably okay)
