Ge Spacemaker fan won't turn off

I recently had a spacemaker XL1400 (I think) stop working. Being an EE, I opened it up and started troubleshooting and parts replacement. I found the magnetron to have a melted antenae, shorted diode and blown thermal cutout. All of the wiring looked good. I replaced all 3 parts and then put it back together, hung it back on wall and plugged it in. The exhaust fan turns on low speed and won't turn off!! Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx,

What a coincedence - the fan will not turn off on my spacemaker xl also. I have to leave the door open in order for the fan not to run. It's almost 11 years old. Was wondering if it can be fixed or needs to be replaced.

I was thinking drive circuit myself. Does this mean replace the control board??$$$??

The fan may need to be replaced, and or the drive circuit to the fan has a fault condition.

Pledase check the operation of the door safety interlock system. If you routinely open the door while the oven is operating, these small switches will eventually burn out and not work.

I have a ge spacemaker XL1400. It was manufacture

it sounds to me like the magnetron is shot in it. this is the part that creates the heat. not worth repairing on a 10 year old unit. Sorry.

GE Spacemaker making odd noise

We are having the same problem with our XL1400. I suspect it has something to do with the turn table but don't know for sure. We would be willing to disconnect the turn table...anything to stop the noise but don't know how.
