GE Microwave Spacemaker XL1800, Model JVM1850BH02. After using the microwave and hearing the beep tone, I depress CLEAR/OFF and open the door. When I close the door, the microwave continues to operate for several seconds and then stops. I unplug the power. Reset the clock. Try again, but the problem continues. It seems the run time (after closing the door) is increasing from a few seconds to a few more seconds. Could this be a problem with the electronics? Any clues as to the source of the problem. Thank you.
Hey, it does sound like a problem with the control. Just to be sure, check the door switches, sometimes they can cause the MW to act weird like that.
I just opened the door and closed it (without touching any of the buttons) and the MW ran for about 3 seconds. Does that sound like a door control issue?
There are typically 2 hooks on the door that go into two openings on the MW cabinet, which is where the switches are located. You would need to disassemble the MW and check the switches that way, not an easy task if you have not worked on them before. Here is a link that can offer some help.
