From Tech Sheet W16447579, p.31:

1.Make sure oven is plugged in, open microwave door to check if light comes on, check that Sabbath Mode is disabled. Unplug and check connection between UI board P2-4 (orange) and microwave board P26-3 (orange), and UI board P2-5 (brown) and microwave board P26-2 (brown).

2.Measure door lock assembly resistance across the PTC terminals. Expected: ~200 ohms cold, rising sharply once energized.

3.Inspect strike and latch alignment. A warped door or misaligned strike prevents the switch stack from closing in the correct sequence.
