dude, thank you so much for taking time and sharing the fix. How can I buy you a beer? You saved me at least $500 and tons of headache.

Omgoodness! It worked. I did have to knock it a few times.

The tapping on the metal with a screwdriver after removing the blue part stopped the buzzing! Thanks

Thank you so much from GE owner! Problem solved 😊

I slammed the door about 5 times. Stop making noise.

Thank you, I have a GE but I disconnected something similar with 3 wires. Tapped with the tip of screwdriver 3 times twice and wouldn’t work. Flipped the screwdriver and used the handle and 3 stronger whacks later and it fixed the issue 😅

Different model but principally the same, worked, THANK YOU! Any guess on the longterm prognosis?

Worked.... Thanks!!

Worked perfectly

The "buzzing" is the microwave generator continuing to operate while the door is closed. I found a video that recommended replacing all 3 door switches, so I went ahead & did that- it was only about $12.00. But it didn't fix the issue. This worked. Literally tapped on that relay a few times with a screw driver. Thank you Jake !!

This was very helpful. Fixed my problem. Thank you

About 2 hours ago, with the same microwave unit, I heard this buzzing noise when I closed the door. I had just told my wife about the problem and we both was like, we don't need any other repairs at this time. So, I searched for with the exact description of my problem and boom! Your video was the first one to come up and boy, am I glad I did. I thought I was going to have to buy another microwave but tapping on that relay worked as I saw it pop up. I checked it and there's no more problem. Thanks again for this video so much!

This fixed the same issue with mine. Thanks!

Yes dog is mans best friend. Hours of entertainment and protection. Best thing dogs almost always listen and are quick to forgive. Ball ball 🏀

That's a lot of hot air! 🎉😂nice Yamaha sign!

Congratulations ! 🎉 Was hearing a hum and unplugged power from ge Unit made April 2017. GE door has a push button in the lower right side however, I like this video better. Simply pull open the door. Oh GE Hum has gone away on its own. This interesting video makes me want a Samsung in the future.

I had the same issue with my GE 1.6 cubic foot Over the range microwave oven model# JVM3160RF2SS I watched your video and tried the same fix and it worked like a charm. Thanks for sharing.

worked like a charm! thank you Sir!

Thank you. I was ready to pull the trigger on a new motherboard when I saw this video. Thank you again for saving me money.

Thanks so much. I was about to go and buy a new microwave. I decided to look on KZbin, your video came up. I did as you instructed, worked the first time. Thanks

Thank you! It fixed my Samsung 2022 model ME19R7041FS by removing the blue plug from the board and plugging it back.

Great it worked ! Lifesaver

Always unplug before popping off the top vent

This video saved us replacing our microwave! And it was completely fixed and back in order in 10 minutes! Thank you so much!

Thank you! Fixed our Frigidaire microwave using this👍

Also worked like a charm for my old GE monogram spacemaker with the same symptom. Disassembly was different, mine required pulling the microwave off the wall and removal of the outer casing. With the casing removed I found the equivalent-looking relay, removed the thing on top, whacked it a few times with a wooden spoon, plugged it back in to check and voila. Thanks for making this. I inherited mine built-in which is a pain and expensive to replace

Thank you ! This fix worked for mine! I had two relays on a different part of the board, but still worked.

I was walking out the door to but a new microwave and tried this as a last ditch effort and it worked. Bless you.

Super Helpful. Fixed the same issue I had with my GE.

Thank you , you made my day, easy fix tap on the relay. Yup fixed it once before and also years ago a thermister was bad. Kudos to you

Yep. Simple fix for the repairman to come and fix my 3-year-old Sharp.😕

Thanks. That worked. I have a slightly different model with the buttons along the bottom, and the handle on the far right. Remove two screws hold on the top. Side it right. Remove one screw on a metal ground bar. Slide the black panel up and off.

Thank you.👌

left mine open for a minute then closed it stopped doing it🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you! This fixed the exact same problem we encountered this morning on our 4 year old samsung microwave. At the very least it gives us more time before having to replace the entire unit. And you can't beat 'free' as a price.

Quit mumbling and speak up! Damn.

Thanks! We have the exact same model and it just started doing that. Your video/steps worked for us!!

❤😊

Great this fixed mine aswell, thanks!

Followed your advise on a Kenmore unit and worked first try. Thanks for the tip!

Awesome, thank you it worked on my GE the board looks exactly the same. I was about to buy another one $400 microwave from Lowe’s. I’ve only had this one three years. 😒

I haven't replaced the relay yet but tapping on it did temporarily fix the problem. THANK YOU!

So glad I stumbled upon this video!! I had another model of Samsung microwave that was making a buzzing noise when door was closed and not running. Followed the instructions in this video (my microwave had a blue and a white plug). Unplugged just the blue and tapped all around on it, plugged it back in and it was still making the noise. Then tried unplugging blue and white and tapping on both. Plugged it back in and problem was fixed!! So glad I am not shopping for a new microwave today - mine is only 2 yrs old.

Many thanks for this video! I ran into this problem while in the midst of addressing a fully separate problem, which I was able to fix by replacing one of the door switches (switch was stuck closed and was tripping my circuit breaker... also a KZbin video fix!). Once I replaced the switch and stopped the problem of the circuit breaker tripping, the magnetron was coming on the moment I closed the door, which it was not doing prior to the door switch being stuck. I watched your video and thought I'd give the tap-thing a try. I have a GE microwave, so there is a minor difference between the relay on your board and mine. But the overall design appears to be extremely similar. I have to say, I tried what we will say is "tapping" on the relay, several times, with no luck. I was finally at that "last straw" point, and rather than say I "tapped" the relay (with the tip of the screwdriver), I turned the screwdriver around and it was more like a "THWOCK!" with the handle... Not super-hard but definitely not light "taps". Voila. It released the relay and it is now working. It has been a few days since that was done, and it has worked flawlessly since. I'll still keep a watch in case the relay sticks again. Many thanks, again, for your video!

Worked for me on a two year old samsung microwave I was worried I would have to replace 2 thumbs up and thanks for sharing!!!

Worked for sharp carousel model r551zs except there are two relays, big and smaller; I tapped on the big one, nothing happened. When I tapped on the smaller, I heard a click and the issue is fixed ;) Thanks for sharing this video.

For a second I thought I might have to call my home warranty company but finding this saved me a bunch of time and effort. Thank you!!

This worked for me. You're a lifesaver!

Thank you ! This fix worked for mine! Awesome job
