Roper Microwave won't turn off

If your Roper microwave won't turn off, keeps running, or the fan won't turn off when you press Cancel or open the door, start with the door switches. A failed primary door switch, secondary door switch, or monitor switch can short and allow the fan to run even when the door is open. Test each door switch for continuity and replace any switch that fails. If the microwave controls are not responding correctly, the user control and display board may not be registering the Cancel or Off button. When some buttons work but others do not, the touchpad and control panel or touchpad may be defective. If the microwave remains stuck on after these checks, a shorted relay or triac on the main control board can keep components powered. Enter your Roper microwave model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific appliance. Any repair that requires opening the outer cabinet must be handled carefully because the high-voltage capacitor can store a lethal charge even after the microwave is unplugged. Proper capacitor discharge is required before interior work, and a qualified technician should perform this repair if you are not familiar with the procedure.

01 - Roper Microwave Door Switch

Most microwaves have three or four door switches. When the microwave door closes, the door switches actuate in sequence to ensure that the door is closed properly. If any of the door switches fail, the microwave will not start or heat. In some rare cases a door switch may short out and allow the fan to run even when the door is opened. To determine if any of the door switches are defective, use a multimeter to test each of the switches for continuity. If any of the door switches lack continuity, replace the switch. (Caution: The microwave oven can store thousands of volts of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even ...after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace a door switch.)

05 - Roper Microwave Main Control Board

The main control board has relays that send power to several components to make the microwave work. If one or more of the relays or triacs short out, some of the components can keep running when the controls are turned off. (Caution: The microwave oven can store thousands of volts of electricity in its high voltage capacitor, even after the microwave oven has been unplugged. Due to the potential for electric shock, it is extremely dangerous to replace the electronic components in a microwave. Only a licensed technician should replace the main control board.)

06 - Roper Microwave Control Board

The control board has relays that send power to several components to make the microwave work. If one or more of the relays or triacs short out, some of the components can keep running when the controls are turned off. While you can often replace just the control board, some microwave models sell control panels as an assembly with both the touchpad and control board included.
