Usually it will click about 4 times, that how I can tell if we are going to have microwave pizza or order out. :) This is really frustrating and I am ready to ditch this thing.

It sounds like the moisure in the air is somehow getting into the control board, part #AP3045887) You might want to get into the control panel and check for loose wires A& corrosion. Do you get any error codes? Nat
