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

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 !!

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!

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.

I love KZbin! I had found responses to “humming microwave with door closed” saying it may be magnetron. I came across this video, which is a better first pass troubleshooting check. All I had was a utility pliers/knife handy (with Philips blade). Took the panel off, tapped the relay, IT WORKS!!. Easy fix to what sounded like an expensive problem. Thank you so much for posting this!!

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!

Super helpful! I had the same problem with a GE Model JES1651SR1SS. Wouldn't shut off, just kept cooking. My model was a countertop, so all I had to do was remove the screws to take the cover off and I could access the circuit board from the side. Identified the relay, gave it a few taps, and problem solved. The oven is 10 years old so it may be need to be replaced someday soon. But it is not this day! There's another video on KZbin saying this shutoff problem is due to a busted magnetron. I wonder though if that guy also had a stuck relay which in turn led to the magnetron overheating and breaking. Just a thought.

Did you watch the video? Unplug the connector, tap relay. As stated in the video, I performed the fix before filming the video not knowing if it would work or not. I filmed the video to demonstrate a cheap simple fix in hopes that it could help someone else. Based on the above comments, several others have successfully got their microwaves back up and running by viewing my video and reviewing these comments.
