Moreover, why does the fan on my microwave keep running?
The exhaust fan thermostat is usually the failed component. When it senses heat it turns on the exhaust fan. If you are cooking on the cooktop, it can sense the heat and the fan won't turn off until the thermostat cools. It is also common for this thermostat to fail causing the fan to constantly run.
Beside above, why is my microwave running when I close the door? If the diode burns out, the magnetron won't receive enough voltage to operate, preventing the microwave from heating. When the diode fails, it is often visibly burned out. When the microwave door closes, the door switches actuate in sequence to ensure that the door is closed properly.
Also asked, is there a fan in a microwave?
Yes this fan is to prevent the microwave from overheating. Most microwaves have a thermostat that will turn on the fan if the cooktop area is overheating when it cools the fan will stop.
