** REMEMBER! **The microwave can still shock you even unplugged!!

ALWAYS discharge the high-voltage capacitor first if you even think your hands will come close to any HIGH VOLTAGE components.

Jeff mentions this: Anything in the high voltage ( magnetron, capacitor, diode, wires to and from ):
...Use a metal ( not the shiny chrome type ) screw driver with a insulated handle to short across ( touch both at the same time ) the terminals of the high voltage capacitor to discharge it.

Hello,

When I close the door, it makes a buzzing/humming sound. I unplugged the magnetron and it still makes the sound.

I have replaced the door switches and the door monitor switch but the behavior does remain.

Here’s a link to an audio file with the sound.
