Sorry Brian. After I typed my reply I forgot to click on "post reply". That happens sometimes.
Check for 120 VAC at the small transformer on the control board. 0V=Check the door switches. 120V=bad board

Hi Rick,
Main board is brand new and same problem exits.
I was originally asking about the door switches. Their is an interlock and primary interlock switch.
Can you tell me which switch when bad is responsible for causing the problem I am experiencing?
Recap:
Control pad functions normal and counts down.
All lights work on pad and micro interior
No fan
Won’t heat
Thanks again.

New doesn't automatically mean good. Getting a new part bad in the box is not as uncommon as you might think.

Probably the primary switch but could be the secondary switch. The monitor switch is good. You won't need to check it.

Hi Rick,
I hope I explain this in a manner that makes sense...lol
1. With the cover off of micro and looking in from side at what I will call the switch mounting bracket.(Appears to hold 4 switches).
a. Top switch with two wire connections ohm checked good (not sure which switch name this is though)
b. Middle switch with two wire connections ohm checked good (not sure which switch name this is though)
c. bottom switches (appears to be 2 side by side)
c1. outter most switch 2 wire connections ohm checked good (not sure which switch name this is though)
c2. inner most switch 3 wire connections(not sure which switch this is though) fail when ohm checked. I bypassed the top connection on switch and middle connection on switch and fan started working. I did not try bypassing the bottom wire connection of the switch as already confirmed it was bad.
Now from the wiring diagram it is hard for me to tell what switch is what and where when looking internally physically at them. Could you name them and part link from top most switch to bottom most and how many of each needed. Thanks for you guidance?

You'll need to post a copy of the tech sheet and wiring diagram again. Make sure they're in focus so I can see them.

Hi Rick,
These are the same images, open in good quality on my desktop. If they are not good, perhaps the forum downgrades images. Do you still have the email I sent with them?
If the switches are that cheap I will replace all of them just for future issues with others. If you could tell me what switche name is at the top position, middle position and two side by side bottom position so I know exactly what there called and location that would be a huge help. Thanks again for all your support.

Rick, This is a great illustration. I share because when I contacted the Appliance Parts Pros and they insisted the switch in the location at fault was a primary secondary switch and that there are two of them. This why I hope we can label the switches correctly for each position on the mounting bracket.
