Viking DMOS200 1100 Watts Microwave Oven Questions & Answers
Re. Viking DMOS200 1100 watts microwave oven does not turn on
I'm guessing that's a VMOS200?
If so, that's a rebranded Sharp R-530ES (as is the Dacor DMO2420S) and its secondary interlock (bottom door switch) or that switch's mount is bad.
See this file on door switches.
If you only need a
switch, you can order a universal type here for $5 postpaid.
The Sharp R-530E service manual will aid you in disassembly and it is
here.

Microwave "dead" after interlock switch
I don't have a manual but I know from experience that a switch is a switch. Disconnect wires from interlock switch place ohmeter on each side of switch terminals. with door closed ohmeter should read o.o ohms (continuity) with door open the ohmeter should read infinity (open circuit) Also if fuses are good but display is dead have to check for control voltages from power circuit, usually around 15 VDC. Sometimes computer circuit goes out from surge in power. There is no fix other than to replace computer/control circuitry.
Relays are checked by knowing which terminal energize the coil and doing a continuity check. The contacts can only be visually inspected. (relays only fail after thousands of cycles maybe millions!)
