I took out something and did not close the door immediately. When I did close the door, the light remained on and the top vent comes on, very similar to when it is cooking. The Stop button does not do anything. I unplugged and replugged; didn't correct issue. I can still enter a time and start oven. Any ideas?

Generally, the most common causes of a failure to heat are:
- bad door switches or door switch mounts
- loose connection at the magnetron
- problem or loose connection on the control unit circuit board
- bad magnetron or other high voltage part (such as a shorted diode)
If you or someone you know decide to look into it, we have critical safety information, info on door switch diagnosis and replacement, and disassembly information at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

There should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel, which is very helpful when troubleshooting.
