Frigidaire gallery microwave fan won't turn off info video

Today I will show a video about our Frigidaire gallery microwave and how the fan would not turn off. The microwave hangs on top of the stove and oven and started to over heat. The microwave fan will turn on automatically to prevent the microwave from overheating. If you have any questions, leave comments below and we would love to answer them.

You saved my sanity! First time it's done this in 4+ years. Unplugging it and letting it cool off was the fix. The internet can be a wonderful place : )

I am so glad you were able to figure it out! Thanks for commenting!

LMFAOOOO😂😂😂😂

[@truckerchik7141]

Thank you!! My husband was blaming me for sneaking up on him and turning the fan on! I was outside doing farm chores while he was cooking. (Yes I am a prankster, but I was not guilty)

My fan will not turn off. I have unplugged and shut off the breaker and still wont turn off, even after several days with no power., its still on

[@BigAlRepairs]

Have you tried to cook something in the microwave to reset it?

Ventilador automatico no para aunque este frio.

[@jonsarpong4082]

Question - does the exaust air only come out the front of the microwave? Is there a way to make it come out the back so I can have the air vent outside?

[@BigAl-1]

Jon, I Most over-the-range microwaves can be set to vent outside or circulate air through a filter back into the kitchen. The circulating option is useful in kitchens where venting outside is difficult, costly, or not an option at all. I hope this helps. Thanks for the question and hopefully you subscribe to Big Al Repairs.

[@jonsarpong4082]

@@BigAl-1 Thanks for this response. Do you have any idea how to set this microwave to vent outside? For the life of me, I've been through the manual and can't seem to find how to do it

[@BigAl-1]

@@jonsarpong4082 I have not vented a microwave from the back side. But I did do a Google search and there is a KZbin video showing how to do that. Please give us an update as to how that went and if you were able to find that video and complete the project. Best of luck and it would be awesome if you could give us an update. Thanks again

[@gagejohnson3778]

The same thing happened to my Samsung Microwave which is above a Frigidaire Gallery Gas Range. It turned off automatically after about 15 minutes.

[@BigAlRepairs]

Thank you for the information! So it is probably the same thing with other microwave models.

[@lindseylambson9669]

Thanks for this video... I was wondering about that! I thought my microwave was broken!!! :|

[@bettyannstryker4380]

You all seem to think this is ok? Well my stove was not on! I cooked 3 things in the microwave and with 3 min left on the 3rd item when it happened.....again. The food was not yet finished cooking, the other foods were now getting cold, and I had to endure that damn noisy fan for 15 minutes! TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!! DEFINITE DESIGN FLAW!!! Yes, you explained perfectly why this happens...BUT IT SHOULD NOT EVER HAPPEN!!!!! I own 3 homes....and have never had this issue with any of my microwaves. Buy a sharp...My first lasted 30 years without any issues. My second one lasted until the home buyer decided to redo her kitchen. New one is working perfectly in our summer home. And...quite frankly, I do not like my machinery nagging me to come take out whatever I put in there.!!!!!! Going online to amazon to get a new sharp for my Florida kitchen...and I do not care who takes this one out of the trash! But I have never ever heard of another microwave doing such crap. Who wants this one...come get it!

[@BigAl-1]

Thanks so much for your comment. You make a lot of valid points. Best of luck with all your projects.

YOU SAVED MY LIFE :D

[@BigAlRepairs]

Thanks for the comment! You are awesome! I hope it helped.

[@o4bama]

@@BigAlRepairs it did we turned it off using the breaker and let it sit 6-10 mins

[@ErinMcKay-q4f]

They need a setting to turn this option off

[@BigAl-1]

That is a great suggestion. It is very difficult to figure out what is the problem. Thanks so much for your comment. Best of luck with your next DIY project and hopefully you subscribe to Big Al Repairs.

[@bettyannstryker4380]

My stove wasn't on!!! and its ridiculous for me to wait 15 minutes for it to cool down from cooking the meat to cook the veggies! I threw it out!!! $300.00 is not alot for me to toss, if it is continually upsetting me! A definite design flaw

[@BigAlRepairs]

So there was no heat below the microwave? The fan is an automatic response to too much heat on the outside of the microwave. I am not sure what happened to yours.

[@ascenchon]

My microwave is cold and the blower fan is always on, with closed door or open…

[@BigAlRepairs]

Did you wait the 15+ minutes? Did it eventually turn off?

[@ascenchon]

@@BigAlRepairs Yes, I waited more than 30 minutes and never stopped. Oven was cool. I cooked a glass of water and it didn’t rest…

[@ascenchon]

I fixed it by changing 3 thermostat.

[@BigAlRepairs]

@@ascenchon interesting. How did you do that, do you mind sharing?

[@solaris808]

Welp, my microwave fan has been running for 6 days. Will not turn off.

[@tc1952]

This is not a repair. When that autosensor goes bad, whats the actual repair...this isnt a fix, its a workaround until it doesnt work around.

[@Rafinicki87]

1hr has passed, still on fml

[@BigAlRepairs]

Really? I would contact the manufacturer! Does it still feel hot to the touch? You have turned off all sources of heat below the microwave?

[@Rafinicki87]

@@BigAlRepairs yes everything is cool, but fan still on

[@BigAlRepairs]

@@Rafinicki87 Try cooking something in the microwave for a couple of seconds and see if that resets the microwave?
