The power was on but would shut off when the door closed wouldn’t run.

I replaced the two different door latch switches. One switch is open circuit when pushed, one is circuit closed when pushed. They both tested fine, but the behavior said it had to be a switch failure. When removing the top switch the clip holding the switch broke so I also needed to replace the switch holder frame also.
