Default GE JE1540WW mw fan running when door is open

My microwave fan and turntable are running when the door is open. I am not sure whether microvave is actually running with the door open, but I can hear the fan humming and turntable turning. If I close the door, the hum disappears. It seems to work properly (ie food is heated). The model is GE JE1540WW 003, and is about 8 years old. Any idea how to fix? Also is dangerous to continue to use, since I am not sure there's microwave when the door is open. Thx.

Hi,

2 common trouble makers....door switch/door switch mechanism or stuck/sticky relay on the control board.

I'd always go simple first and check the door switchs.

Would be a good idea to discontinue using it until the problem is corrected.
