My microwave stopped working in the middle of a short cooking cycle. I checked the fuses and they were good, but I replaced them anyway. I tried a new control board and still did not turn on. I replaced the door switches with all new ones but think I may have gotten them mixed up. Does anyone know which ones are supposed to be normally open and which should be normally closed? I found a loose power connector that goes to the board with the fuses and got it to turn back on and seem to work fine...the issue now is that it won't heat up. All other functions seem to work. I think I may have the switches in the wrong place for the door. I currently have the following setup.... Top switch = Normally open with Orange and Orange wires Middle switch = Normally closed with Red and Black wires Bottom switch = Normally Open with Black and Black wires

Clagrow, the switches are wired up properly based on the information you have provided. When the microwave is in a cooking cycle, does it create the normal hum that would be heard when it did heat?

Yes, it sounds like it should be heating. Plate is turning, light is on etc.

With the microwave unplugged for about 10 minutes, the magnetron will need to be removed and the filament in the antenna will need to be checked. It may be burned out and if that is the case, the magnetron will need to be replaced.

Thanks for the help, that is what I was afraid of. At this point, I'll just replace it. It was a really nice microwave, hate to pitch it but, sounds like the best option right now.
