I have a GE Spacemaker Microwave oven, model HVM 1540 and the fan does not shut off automatically after the microwave turns off. Even when it is cold and after a short 30 second microwave cycle the fan goes up in volume and speed and won’t shut off until 6, 7, 8 "push fan" cycles (hi, lo, off). Many times it won’t shut off at all and I have to "pull the plug". What is the problem and can I do it myself? Lately the light is doing the same thing. Thanks very much!

I have the same model and it will not shut off, no matter what button I push. I have to leave the door open or unplug it. Would be interested to see a response for this, too.

In your case sounds like the problem is a cooling fan. You may want to check the upper and lower door switches (#1446 on the diagram).
