Had to lift on the door for the microwave to run, suspected the door switches.
Ordered the switches from Partselect, arrive in two days. Had trouble removing the plastic connectors from the old switch terminals, one of the plastic protectors broke, but was able to reuse it. It took a little figuring out how to remove the existing switches. Must push in a tab and rotate the switch on a little pin, then remove. Must be careful not to break the plastic tabs holding the switches in place. Replaced all (3) switches at the same time. All in all it was pretty easy.

AC Syncro motor went in microwave
I tested the motor with an OHM meter, saw it was shot. Broke the turntable off when I tried to take it out from inside where it's attatched to the drive motor.( The plastic was like glued or welded onto the shaft of the original motor ) Had to open up the removable trap door on the bottom to pull the one screw that holds the motor in. Swapped it out, pushed the new turntable back in, and turned it on. Works like new! great parts, fast shipping, great deal !
