It doesn't work at all It sounds normal, but there's no heat I can't adjust the power level The carousel won't turn I have intermittent cooking problems The display flickers There's no heat, but it buzzes loudly It quit after I slammed the door It looks like there's lightning (arcing) inside my microwave
Yes. This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or occasionally a misaligned door hinge.
Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside. Its continuity must be checked.
Door switch or mount trouble can be caused by slamming the door or by opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.
There are plastic mounts inside the microwave which hold the door switches and onto which the door latches lock when you close the door.
The screws on these mounts may be loose. If they get too loose, the switches will not be activated properly.
Sometimes it's a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just out of position. This tab can be hard to see, since it is under the bottom edge of the switch.
One test that sometimes helps is to gently lift up (and/or push down) on the door or handle as you try to start it. If it works or tries to work, then it's a door switch mount or door alignment issue.

You have a defective control panel which is common with this model a can be obtained at an appliance parts store for $100 to $150
Most likely the problem with your microwave is a shorted rectifier or a shorted magnetron tube.
- The part number for the new rectifier is AP3772273.
- The part number for the new magnetron tube is AP3769081
good luck

Try hard reset unplug it plug back in once
try slaming the door shut once then does it start then
maby lift on it wiggle up down see if starts then it would be bad alinment
