Answer

Geo,

There will be one door switch that will read open when the others are closed. If you push this switch and see if it closes and if it does then it is good. Do the same with the other switches and make sure that they open when the button is pushed. If this checks ok then check the magnetron for cracks in the magnet and check to make sure that the diode and capacitor are good.
