You have to have a simple multimeter to check a few parts. Let us know when you are ready.

Ish. Sounds like the problem is a bad door switch. The model number you posted is incorrect. Verify and repost ti. Gene.

Super,
the correct model # is GH7155XHS1.
so does this means the latches or hooks are not pressing down enough to activate the swicht? When ever i hold it down or up it will start working. And so pls. what is the solution? Do i need to replace the switches or can i open it and reallign it? And how easy is it to do this. I looked at the break-down of the whole diagram of the microwave , mostly the door and the latch board.
Thanks a billion.
Ish.

AFAIK, the top and bottom latches are normally open, the middle one is normally closed. Normally means with the open door (to keep fresh and dry inside). When You close the door, the middle latch should close first (before opening two others), otherwise "Monitor fuse" blows. Most ovens I've deal with have repairable switches, but it will be much better to replace the bad one. Good luck! Vvlad attached the following image(s):

Most likely the problem is a bad one of two interlock switches (#2 on the diagram). You have to remove the top grill and open the control panel to access and check them. Bad switch has to be replaced. - The door interlock switch kit Part number: AP3109474

Thanks a lot guys.
I will do just that and update subsequently. Is opening the panel pretty much straight foward?
