Davev, The 3 switches would be the primary at the top and the secondary at the bottom which will be the same. The middle switch will be the monitor switch. The switches would not cause a clicking noise. This issue would most likely be a faulty control board.

Ts for Model Number WMH31017AS-2

My whirlpool microwave is only 2 yrs old. Sometimes when I open the door the light inside the microwave does not come on. If I shut the door and try to operate the microwave I get error message door. I can open and close the door a few times and the light will eventually come back on. Or I can let the microwave sit for 10 or 15 minutes with the door open and the light will come on eventually and everything will be fine until next time I use it and I have to go through the same thing. I am assuming a switch is sticking/failing but I don't know which switch I need to replace for the door error message.
