My 2021 Frigidaire also turned on by itself 2 days ago. It also got hot and would not turn off except at the breaker. After 10 minutes I turned breaker on and the microwave was still on. Turned breaker on the next morning and all good. We are afraid to leave house unless we turn breaker off. Any suggestions? Do I need a new microwave?

in most cases, it is the door switch. It usually has 2 micro switches and either one can go bad. Not a hard fix. I would look at the operation to see if the switches are working. If that is not it, could be in the circuit board. Could be too much to fix, maybe buy a new one if it is a counter top type. Otherwise let it run till it quits. Call a repair guy, and have him diagnose the problem. Tell him you will fix it in a month or two so could he write down what you need with the part numbers. This way you do not have to start at ground zero. Then order the parts and fix yourself if you feel brave enough.

HI.although this is quite unusual, it can happen at times when the touch control becomes faulty. simply replacing the Touch control will fix this issue.
Touch control will run about $56.00

If it didn't come back on in 15-20 minutes you blew the cavity thermal fuse you'll have to have a technician replace it.

We have a similar problem! It sounds like a problem with the microswitch inside the unit that the door is suppose to engage when closed. If not engaged properly, it will not cook. We had the switch replaced last March but it has started acting up again. We can press in on the door and/or lift it slightly and it will cook. Try putting time on the counter and hit start. It the word "cook" appears then try moving the door slightly and see if the turntable starts turning. If not, then you may have a more serious problem. Good luck!

The only parts that are available for this unit by model number are the tray inside and the feet on the outside.
If you were adventurous and found a way to take it apart and remove the door switches you might be able to match them up at an appliance parts dealer but short of that it sounds like a lost cause.
I know that is not what you want to hear, and I as well do not like being the bearer of bad news.....
Hello Derrick Baker - Typically no fan should come on without starting the microwave. There is one exception! For an example, if the microwave becomes too hot from something that is cooking on the stove below the microwave, the fan will come on and will cycle off once the bottom of the microwaves cools back down. If the fan is turning on when the door is closed, more than likely, a door switch as failed. At this point, I recommend connecting with a certified technician to move forward accurately to assist with the repairs.
