You can test them for continuity or replace them both, they are not expensive and are available below. They are the same switch, so you would need to order two.

GE WB24X829 Door Sensing Switch - AppliancePartsPros.com Ninja, Thank you for your response. I will meter both the top and bottom out of curiosity but intend to replace both per your suggestion. Much cheaper than a new microwave purchase and I have it apart now anyhow. Scott
