Need Help: Newish GE PVM9005SJ8SS Microwave

[Beerwrench]

Hey Folks,

The microwave is a GE PVM9005SJ8SS - its only about 16 months old (from when I bought it).

So the backstory is that last month, we had a power outage/interruption in the middle of the night. In the morning, I found the microwave completely dead. I went through the basic dead microwave diagnostic techniques and checked the following:

-both thermal fuses (the two silver 2 pronged fuses in the photos

-the 900 mA white fuse in the photos
-the main microwave fuse - the little 'tube' thing in the photo
-the door switches

All the fuses had continuity (meaning they are functioning) and with my current detector, I could tell the power was getting to the internals. Nothing on the control boards looked burnt or obviously broken. But after studying the wiring diagram, I came to the conclusion that the microwave was in fact getting power but the display control board was fried. In this model, the display board is built into the door. So I order a new door and when it arrived I now had my digital display back, but the microwave would not start once you input a cook time - it would just beep. Like in the attached video...

Like I said, Ive replaced the door and the main control board, tested the door close switches and all fuses. Everything tests good, but the microwave will not initiate a heat cycle - any suggestions?

Does it think the door is open(disconnected door switch)?

I dont think so. As you can see in the video it allows me to enter a time for in the heating setting - I dont think it would allow that if it read the door to be open.
