My microwave je1540wv002 recently started to have the same problem and came across this site. Microwave works fine but light on and turntable turns when door is open. Please advise which parts # to replace.

Hi.
All you need is a basic skills and common sense to replace the door switch. Provide the complete model number so I can get you the part number.

Hi.

Remove the cover and perform the continuity test at the upper and lower door switches (monitor and door sensing). With door open both switches should reed no continuity. with door closed - continuity. If the switches are good - replace the control board.

Here are the breakdown diagram and Microwave replacement parts for General Electric PEB1590SM1SS MICROWAVE | AppliancePartsPros.com

Thank you. Post the results.

Hi.

The "cover" is #1200 on the diagram if you open it.
To check the continuity you need a multimeter.

Here is an article on our forum:

I have recently had the same problem, and found this thread. We have a GE PT970S. At first, we noticed the turntable would turn when the door was opened. This lasted a few weeks, and then we noticed the turntable would stop turning and nothing would heat, but sporadically, the turntable would start again and then it heated food fine. Now, the turntable no longer spins and if I check it, the motor seems to be turning freely (there is not the normal motor sound you should hear if you spin it by hand). I checked the coupler, and it looks fine. I am curious:
1) Could a bad motor also stop the microwave from heating?
2) If not, does it seem plausible for a motor and a switch to go out at the same time on a 4 year old microwave?
3) Is it hard to separate the microwave from the oven in order to service it?

THANKS!!!
