I still have the 1st microwave I ever bought, 1989 I think. I've had microswitches fail 2 times in all the years. I replaced the bad one and away we go. It may not be the switches in yours, but worth the check.

I would love to try that...but we took it to the dump this morning. Never even thought about a repair Should have though...I just replaced the igniter in our 20 year old gas range...it works great now

Thanks for the input...
