When door is closed, light comes on and rotates as if running but does not heat food. Have to keep door open or will continue to running with it closed. Is this worth fixing or just buy new on since it is almost 5 yrs old?

I am not microwave expert but I suspect at least one of the door switch (micro-switch) is out.

Check my thread, similar symptoms, in my case it is on when the door open (just the fan):

You need to know how to open the cover to expose the parts.

I hope this help.

Below is a link to a video that will show you how to test the door switches since one of them is likely faulty causing this problem. There are 3 door switches that can cause this.
