Hello Bob. It sounds like the humidity sensor 8206446 may be bad. The reading your getting is the sensor reading. 1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power. 2. Remove the 3-pin connector from PCBA (P2). NOTE: Do not remove the attached resistor which is used for internal resistance calibration. 3. Measure resistance across pins 1 & 3, and across pins 2 & 3 (ohmmeter scale: Rx1k):  Normal: 2.8k ohms (approximate) at 77ºF +/- 18ºF (25ºC +/- 10ºC)  Abnormal: Infinite. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
