My GE Microwave Convection Oven model JE 1390WV runs whenever the door is open. It microwaves on the normal settings, but when the door is opened it turns on and runs.

DO NOT USE IT!!!! THERE IS A SWITCH IN THE DOOR LATCH THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
AGAIN DO NOT USE IT!!!! IF ITS RUNNING WITH THE DOOR OPEN YOU COULD DO SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR HAND OR ARM IF IT IS NEAR THE OPEN DOOR

Door Spring

If the microwave door won't open the door spring may have broken. The door spring is located inside the door and keeps downward pressure on the door hook.

Door Latch

If the microwave door won't open the door latch might be broken. The door latch is inside the microwave. The door hook, which is part of the door, engages with the latch to keep the door closed during operation. If the door latch or actuator breaks the door may not open.

Door Hook

If the microwave door won't open the door hook might not be releasing properly. The door hook is installed inside the door and normally releases when the door is opened. The hook is made of plastic and will break over time. When this happens it will need to be replaced, it can't be repaired.

My GE Spacemaker (HVM1540) will not turn off. Often when we use it and open the door to get food out, then we reclose the door and it continues to run. Even after hitting Clear/Off it continues to run...

Ok I have the same model and mine was doing the same thing. Apparently this model has a reputation of problems with the control board. I played with mine for hours and here's what finally worked: unplug the unit (or shut off the breaker--whichever's easier for you), take a dry cloth and wipe the door latches and control board clean of any residue. Then with the door still open, gently jiggle the control board by firmly grasping with your hand. Power up your unit again. This worked for me. The control board is really fussy and should be clean and free of any dust or residue. I notice this happens again when it gets dirty so I repeat the process and it's been working.....so far!!!

GE Microwave Model JE1640WA runs when the door is open only

You probably have a loose or broken door switch mount or the door may be slightly misaligned.

See:
http://www.microwavedisplay.com/safety.txt
and
http://www.microwavedisplay.com/disassembly.txt
and
http://www.microwavedisplay.com/doorsw.txt

There should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.

Microwave runs when door open

This is probably a a bad door switch or door switch mount. Chances are only the fan and light are running when you open it, but better safe than sorry. Opening the door while cooking (without first hitting the STOP pad) is the primary cause of door switch failure but not the only one. I have a text file called "doorsw.txt" which helps in diagnosing and repairing door switch problems, and a file called "safety.txt" which is of vital importance. You can find these files by searching at Yahoo.com (not Google) for this: microwave display safety.txt If you still have a problem, please write back with more detail. Be safe!
