Microwave Runs When Door is Open. Cheap and Easy Fix. 

I have the exact Hamilton Beach 900w same as yours. I watched the video and decided I would just get a new one rather than trying to fix this one. I said if its going to recycling anyway, why not just try to unstick the switch with a good hard door slam. If it breaks, so what its going anyways. So I did, gave the door a good slam. It didn't break, and it unstuck the switch. That was a few days ago. Working as good as new again.

I’m going ask my dad to take a look

I broke the board latch when I swapped out the three switches. Hard to find the park number for these. I used board latch WB14X10049

not only does my turntable keep spinning but my screen is black and buttons don't work. It keeps running continuously unless I unplug it

my black and decker comes on if you open the door while its off and plugged in. the fix is unplug it before opening.

Changed the bad switch but still have the issue. And ideas?

Check your door hinges to make sure they’re not damaged

Slammed the door and it fixed it. Good video to bring peope together to collaborate.

No problem with the micro switches, I just cleaned their contacts and it works normally again. Thanks!

When I close it it doesn’t do nothing won’t turn OMG 😂😂 mines did same thing but as it spins it won’t cook or heat nothing either haha

I sort of have this problem When I close the microwave door the microwave turns on by itself but since I don't know how to repair the microwave I opened the door then close it again and press a minute and let it run for a few seconds then I open the door again then the microwave turns off

does anyone know if you can get injured or anything from this??

Thank you for this. However, our unit is a combination microwave convection oven. The unit has 3 switches but they are very obscured by lot of wire. What was difficult was the removal of the switches, as there were clips and pins. We used a hair dryer to soften the clip material which helped. Also I suggest looking the way the door clicks the switch buttons. That way you can determine which of the three is faulty. (I hadn’t noticed that the top switch was faulty and took the middle one out first. Not a good experience, as a pin broke. Make sure you look first, take pictures, uses a hair blower and be patient.) Mine also was an overhead placement which was awkward to remove.

I slammed the door hard enough but not hard enough to break the glass. Poof it works lol.

I have Panasonic the genius sensor 1350w does not have those grey things you mentioned? What am I looking at? I have the same trouble turn table moving all the time even when I’m not using

that a timebomb

Be very careful not to touch any capacitor which can be very dangerous.

Those wires are basically soldered into the switches. Only way to get them out was to break it.

thanks sounds simple let me give it a try😊

Trying to find an exact switch to put in, but having no luck. Are these basically interchangeable? I hope?

Great video! I followed your instructions and found 1 bad switch. Then I replaced it but it is running when door opens. I guess it is time for new one.

What happens if the switch still clicks fine? Could it just be that the whole switch is faulty?

Thanks again that was awesome almost trashed a microwave. . I'd it work IL let you know

Is it dangerous in this situation? Are there any electronic radiation leaking?

Thanks for the fix!

Tx much! Did you replace all 3 switches?

EFF YEAH I JUST FIXED MY DEMON MACHINE! it was quick, the primary top switch wasn't even burnt out, just slightly misaligned... probably from years of uhhh slamming the door, lol. this video saved me a benjamin, so thank you!

I have the exact same microwave but mine is red. Would the part numbers for yours fit my microwave.

You have me confused. You skipped a whole lot of steps, and we could not see what you were doing.

all better thank you

Thank you

what is the screwdriver you used to get outer screws?

Change all 3 switches still same thing,runs with door open,any other ideas?

That just happened to me. Any dangers from the microwave running when the door is open?

Great video. Thanks.

My turns on when I push the button to open the door.. won't turn off even if I hit stop, screw that. Lol.

Definantly want it shut when microwaving grimlins! Hahah

Lets hope this doesnt melt my eyes

That's this was my problem also, thank for the video!!!

Thanks

Great video thank you...

Nice job!

Look people just buy another microwave it's not that serious. Taking it apart and doing this shit is not worth it ok due to microwaves are cheap now a days
