I have a 2006 GE microwave recently the breaker is tripping when I start it. We opend it up and found a blown fuse. Which we replaced. Worked fine for a few days
( I have it on a 20 amp breaker with 1 light and my Imac ) Light was off and computer was sleeping.
Monday morn at 4:45 am Opend door and off went the breaker again. So grabbed the extension cord
to move to another outlet.. and crap same thing.
So opned it up fuse is fine.. Googled issue and top of search was GE blows breaker when door is opend.
Says door switches are shot.
Checked with Mulitmeter one switch showes continuity all the time it will read higher with door open and alittle lower with it closed. The other 1 show no reading closed door and then continuity door open .
I'm not really sure which way the multi meter read if the door was open or closed.
There should be no reading one way or the other on the 1st switch correct?
closed door no reading and continuity with door open. On both switches. Correct?
I really hate the touch panel only microwaves.
I'm using one a renter left and don't like the touch pad.
I tried to be clear on the issue.
Sorry if I'm not.
