There is a thermostat on the bottom of the microwave which senses the bottom panel temperature and operates the fan automatically (Owners manual, page 28). Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for GE JVM1870WF07 \| AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

We can be sitting in the living room and it will just start blowing. The only way to stop it is to unplug the unit. Thanks
