• ** 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.

Unplug the machine. Remove the control panel and check the the door switches for continuity by opening and closing the door.

Thanks. How do you remove the control panel? Can it be accessed without taking the whole microwave down? Only see 2 screws on the left side...
