Microwave turns itself off after a couple of seconds

Jun 07, 2008

-   The problem is the push-on connector on the upper door-latch switch; if the plastic around this WHITE connector is brown (burning), the connection is going bad.

Cut the three white wires back about 1 inch and strip; obtain a new push-on and solder the three white wires into it-- a crimp is NOT sufficient for three
wires into this little connector (defective design). Also clean the two blades
on the switch before reconnecting as the heat has likely left a burnt coating.
