Default Microwave oven -- Whirlpool MD365WH

Hi,

I have a Whirlpool MD365WH microwave oven. The problem is that the
automatic cooking functions is working erratically.

If I want to auto-defrost something the display reads out "Sense" and
after about one minute, when the program ends, the food is still frozen.
But sometimes it work perfectly, and sometimes as described above.

The hot air function is sometimes also working in mysterious ways. If I
open the door during cooking, the oven keeps running, but not always. I
guess the correct behavior should be to immidiately shut off when the
door is opened.

Sometimes the controlpanel does not respond when I press the buttons.

As I belive the problem stems from a faulty control panel, and I have
checked and done some resoldering at the controlpanel circuit board, but
unfortunately it had no effect.

Does someone here have any experience troubleshooting the electronics
(or perhapts schematics) in said microwave oven?

Kind regards, Marcus Lindahl (Sweden)
