How to fix a microwave that keeps blowing fuse even after changing the door switches

[@tombanes]

Was not my issue unfortunately. I have the same model. I watched this great tutorial and bought both the switches and black holder together not to have to do the work twice. I tested and retested the switches while in place for proper opening / closing with the door open and closed. All was find. I plugged it in , turned it on, fuse blow in split second. Oh well. it is 14 years old. guess it is time for new one. Thanks again for this video and update.

i FINALLY FOUND A VIDEO THAT EXPLAINS THE SWITCH DIFFERENCES ABOUT OPEN AND CLOSED. i LOOKED AT AT LEAST 6 OR 8 VIDEOS THANKS FOR THE COMPLETE VIDEO

Where I have the same question

Just disconnect the middle switch and leave it unconnected to the switch. You will still have the other two switches for safety. This is bypassing the blown fuse.

Thanks Much for this really good video!! I was relieved there is a chance we don’t have to by a new microwave!!

Thanks a lot for the tip. I changed the door switch but I guess one of the wiring got mixed up as it keeps on blowing a fuse.

Great video on this most common problem. In my case, the switch holder was slightly moving and making one switch break contact if you gently pulled on the door, blowing the fuse since the other two switches were still made. If you notice on the switch holder piece, there is a place for a third screw by the lower switch. I added a screw here and it took out the excess play and now works as intended. It sure looks like it was made for a third screw as the case has the hole also, GE just cut corners and left it out.

Mine blows the fuse but it’s after it’s worked for a week. I’m guessing it could be a door switch. Because I’ve replaced the fuse twice and each time it’s worked for a week

If the door switches don't push in together, it can cause that.
