Did the job!
Ordered the primary door interlock switch and it arrived a week later. I took apart my GE profile built in microwave oven and replaced the upper primary door interlock switch with the new one. I plugged in the microwave and it still didn’t work. I then took the lower primary door interlock switch out and replaced it with the old upper interlock switch. I plugged it in and it worked! Needless to say, it was the lower interlock switch that was bad. On my microwave oven there are two primary door interlock switches and one secondary interlock switch. Unless you own a multimeter you don’t know which switch is bad. I took a guess and got lucky! All in all it cost me about $30 to fix it myself and not have to buy another $300 microwave with a matching $200 stainless steel surround! Hopefully this part will last and I won’t have to do it again. It was a little bit of work to remove the built in microwave from the cabinet. I can see the reason why a repairman would have to charge between $200-$300 to do the repair! I would charge the same!

Fairly simple repair
The part was exactly the right one, and was fairly simple to install. I was nervous the whole time, though, because I was not able to de-charge (?) the main electrical component so I was afraid of what might happen if I accidentally touched it.

Unplugged microwave from wall outlet removed the cover with standard phillips #2 screwdriver and tamper proof screw bit driver.

... Read moreimary interlock switch was mechanically broken, I replaced the upper primary interlock switch also. With a DVM I checked the middle switch which tested good. The old switches can be carefully removed from the latch board by slightly bending the lock tabs and unplugging them, installation is the reverse of removal. I tested the release button and latch mechanism before replacing the cover. I tested the microwave only with the cover on for safety. Parts arrived quickly and easy repair on an 18 year old reliable microwave. A year ago, I replaced the magnetron, capacitor and diode on the same unit which did not heat.
First I had to accept the fact that the unit was designed to keep non-professional people from doing any repairs. The switch was installed in such a manner that I had to break the mounting to remove the switch, then drill a hole in the mounting to secure the new switch in place.

Turntable Stopped Working/Display Timer Would Countdown But Not Heat
With this model, you must remove the outer covering. Don't try to access the display unit from the front like I've seen in some other GE microwave videos. After removing the outer covering, the switches are easy to replace. They are very visible and easy to get to without taking any other parts off. You will see the door switches just

You will need a tamper resistant star bit to remove 3 or 4 screws from the back panel. All other screws are philips head. I went ahead and replaced both switches (yes...there are two of them) and works like a charm. I saved an $800 microwave for less than $60 and know what to do if it happens again. Appears to be a common problem on this model. Thanks for others making a post...It saved me time and money reading others remarks. Good luck!

Microwave just went totally dead. No lights or anything. Thoughts?
For model number HVM1540DM1BB
Hello Tony,
Thanks for your question. It would be a good idea to test part number PS237015, the primary interlock door switch, for continuity using a multi-meter. If that test is positive, the most likely cause is the thermal fuse, part number PS239525. Remember to have the microwave unplugged and to have the capacitor discharged prior to testing or replacing the thermal fuse, as the thermal fuse can store a large amount of electricity even after your microwave is unplugged. Wear an insulated glove and use a screw driver with with an insulated handle to siphon out the excess electricity of your capacitor.
I hope this helps.
The microwave turns on when the door is opened. Witch is the correct door switch to replace?
For model number JES1451BJ02
Hi James, Thank you for the question.To find the defective switch you will need a multi meter to test them. All 3 can have the same symptoms. Good luck with the repair!

How to take the old primary switch off without breaking the holder?
For model number JES1451DS1WW
Hi Bryan,
Thank you for your question. Before you begin any repair please unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet. Use a Phillips head screw driver to unthread the screws securing the grill. With the screws removed, open the microwave oven door then the slide the grill to the left and lift it up to remove. Next remove the control panel mounting screw then lift the control panel up to detach. Then remove the screw holding the inner access panel and then release the panel from the retaining clips. Now remove the screws holding the switch assembly. Depress the release tab and the actuator to detach the switch you are replacing. Disconnect the wire connector to fully release the old switch. Install the new door switch by first connecting the wire connector. Now position the new switch in the assembly snap it into place. Realign the switch assembly on the frame and secure it with the screws. Reinstall the inner access panel securing it with the screw. Now insert the control panel tabs to the slots in the frame and push the panel down. Secure it with the mounting screw. Insert the tabs of the grill into the frame and slide it to the right. Shut the oven door and then secure the grill with the screws. Plug the power cord back in and the microwave should now work. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

How do I get to the primary interlock door switch? Microwave just went dead on me.
For model number JNM1541SM4SS
Hi Joe, Thank you for the questions. In order to get to the switches you will need to remove the outside cabinet and grille vent. You will be able to see where the screw is holding the control panel in place. Once the panel is removed you can have access to the door switches. Hope this helps!

How do i get into the panel where the door latch switch is at? I can't even get the outside cover to come off.....or the bottom with all the screws out. my microwave is running when i open the door.
For model number JES1451DS1BB
Hello Paula, thank you for contacting us. You can remove the top panel of the microwave, then there may be just one screw to remove the control panel. Then you can remove the old switch, just disconnect the wires and pull it out, then just snap in the new switch and connect the wires. Hope this helps!

I can get the oven to power on momentarily by putting upward pressure on the closed door. Sometimes it will remain on. This is without entering commands on the control panel. Do you think that replacing the interlock switches will solve this problem?
For model number JES2051SN3SS
Hello David, thank you for your question. Yes, we would recommend replacing the switches and checking over the interlock (the part the switches are mounted into) to be sure it hasn't shifted from its position. I hope this helps!

Microwave keeps running when the cycle is done and upon opening door.
For model number JES2051SN2SS
Hello Avi, thank you for your question. For this kinds of issue, the cause is almost always a bad door switch. We would recommend replacing the door switches which are PartSelect Number: PS237015 and PartSelect Number: PS237409. There are two of the Part #: PS237015 required for this unit. I hope this helps!

Hello,
The unit starts running when the door opens. Which switch is the one I need? Door interlock or monitor?
How do I reach them? Via removing front panel or does the entire unit have to be removed from the cabinet? PEB1590SM2SS
Thank you!
For model number PEB1590SM2SS
Hi Doug, thank you for reaching out. Based on our research, the most probable cause of this issue is a faulty primary door interlock switch, part number PS237015. To access this part, you may need to first disconnect the power and open the door. Then, remove the outer cover by unthreading the screws, and remove the control panel. You can then access the door latch assembly to replace the faulty switch. We hope this helps!
