Umm. U might wanna check with GE. Never happened to me.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi there, thank you for reaching out to us. Over-the-range microwaves have an automatic fan feature to help protect the electronic components, and also helps the cooking area get rid of excess heat. The built-in thermostat automatically turns the vent fan on if the unit is too hot, and will not turn off until the microwave is cool again. You will not be able to turn the vent fan off manually during this time. Since you stated this has been going on for hours, we suggest trying to reset the controls by disconnecting power to the unit for 2-3 minutes. We hope that helps and we're wishing you the best. - Guy@GEA
