Sometimes, when you open the door, the light inside the microwave does not come on (indicating the door is open), and as a result, if you immediately close the door (when the light is off), you microwave issues an error message saying the door is open. If you leave the door ajar for a few minutes, the light inside eventually comes on and the microwave will start if you close the door. Sometimes, when the light is out when the door is open, the light will "flicker" just before it comes on. Seems like one (or both) of the door micro switches are sticking, but eventually become operable. Not sure which part(s) to order to remedy this problem? Can you help please? Thanks...Tom

Look for a switch that doesn't "click" like the others do. Take a look at this parts diagram. Parts for Maytag MMV5208WS0: Interior and Ventilation Parts - AppliancePartsPros.com
