Has this worked OK up till now ?... Whirlpool model WMH1164XVS2 turntable spins constantly when the door is closed (tuns off when open).
... When attempting to program a cook cycle, the display reads "Door Not Closed" or something very similar.

Yes, this unit was working until this point. I check the switches continuity and they seem to function properly when opening and closing. A switch would explain the light issue but isn't the turntable motor activated by the control board?

the switches control the turntable also, order all 3 Parts 8,9,19. one of them is bad, I usually replace all 3 when 1 is bad just to keep from having a recall.

Yes Comstock, switches test out so I pretty confident it's the CL relay on the circuit board after reviewing the wiring diagram. At $140 for the part, this unit isn't worth the repair. It is now an organ donor. Thanks for all your input and the diagram.
