These sensors are made for particular temperature after achieving that temperature they cut off the supply for the product safety.

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.

I would first suspect the thermister (thermistor) or a low line voltage, weak control board relay etc.
But the service manuals will show you how to safely disassemble, test and repair the unit.
We have
the service manuals for this model and have uploaded them to our
site here and here to help you.
You will need the free
Acrobat Reader
to view or print them in case you don't have it.
The best place to order
parts for this brand is Encompass (formerly Tritronics). Or you can call them toll-free at 866-779-5835.
Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your
full model number) for more information & help.

Hi,

The convection heater is control according to the temperature of the part n 3014 Thermister
Part Number: AP2025611 made by GE
So this is acting like a temperature sensor and it seem that is giving wrong indication to the control panel and switch off the heater at wrong temperature.
So you should replace the thermister.
You can find this and all a other parts of your oven in this link.
