My Hotpoint Microwave starts automatically running when the door closes (no heat) and won't stop. Hitting Clear or Stop seems to do nothing. I can't tell if this is:
a) A problem with a chip
b) A user problem
c) Hardware problem.
I'm not sure. It seemed to be ok recently.

If i understand, u say it is intermittent right? control pad get wet? it is definitely not mag, diode, cap.
i posted early; i may be wrong because i missed no heat. intermittent working, when you close door the light and turntable is on, right? yes still would be control board/chip. no heat could be another problem.
how will you disconnect the motor? will that reset the problem? i can't tell unless i have my hand on it. i would try another keypad if u had one.

It's actually not intermittent. It's always "on" at this point. As soon as you close the door, the light is on and the turntable is moving. I was told to cut off the motor for the turntable and that might do the trick.
