The light comes on, the timer starts counting down, but no spinning tray, and no microwaving taking place, it's silent.

Thought the door switches might be the problem from notes in another post ( http://forum.appliancepartspros...icrowave-wont-start.html ) and checked those first.

I opened up the control panel, unhooked wires on all three Door Switches and removed the Latch Hook containing the switches. I took a 9-volt battery and used a multi meter to test each switch. I get voltage on all three.

Unless I didn't do it right, it seems the door switches are fine.
What should a test next?

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.
