Sounds like a faulty interlock switch.

Disconnect the electrical power to the microwave/oven combination. Open the lower oven door. Remove the bottom screw from each of the two side trim pieces. To remove the side trim, pull the bottom out approximately 2˝, and slide the top down to free it from the control panel. Remove the screws from the oven control panel. To remove the oven control panel, pull it out at the bottom, and lift and unhook it from the oven cabinet support at the top. Open the microwave oven door and remove the glass turntable and roller assembly from inside the oven cavity. Leave the oven door open. Remove the three screws from the upper air vent and remove the air vent. Remove the four screws from the lower air vent and remove the air vent. Close the microwave oven door. Pull the microwave oven out of the oven cabinet approximately four inches. Disconnect the two red LOAD wires from the microwave light power supply, the 6- pin connector, and the green ground wire in the top of the oven cabinet. Slide the plastic grommet and the microwave oven out of the oven cabinet and set the oven on your work surface.

Rick,
I checked the 3 microswitches, replaced one. I still get the "DOOR" message when I try to use it. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thank you!

Which switch did you replace and did you check them with at least one wire removed from the switch? Check the switches by opening and closing the door to make sure the door latch is doing it's job. It still sounds like a door switch problem to me but if you checked them and they're working properly then the control board must be faulty.
