A different microwave problem

I would check all the door switches, relays, look for cracked solder joints or bad electrolytic capacitors on the control board. It's probably something you can fix.

before this problem, did the light normally stay off when door was opened? (my old GE microwave oven always turns the light "on" when the door is opened)

forgot to mention in previous post, have you taken the cover off and looked inside for a schematic? (there was one inside my old GE mw oven)

if you find one, look at what controls the turntable.

I may be a flakey door interlock switch.

I have one that does something similar, though I've never gotten around to actually figuring out what's going on.

I had no idea, Sam! ;-)

Picky, Picky. Instead of picking directly on Sam, you should correct his spelling of flakey.

Gee, I thought he spelled it that way for the Europeans. ;-)

No door switches should affect the turntable. The problem must be flakey control electronics.
