I finally broken down and called a repairman. The door switches were the problem, but none of them had failed. They just needed adjusting. $110 later, and we have the popcorn maker back.

If you do not feel comfortable testing the microwave, the best way is to call a pro.

The top and one of the bottom switches are Normally Open, what means there should be continuity between their terminals with the door closed and no continuity with the door open. The third switch is the monitor switch and it is Normally Closed. The readings on it should be opposite.
