The plastic base that rotates under the glass plate broke.
Lifted up the glass plate, lifted out the plastic base that rotates and placed the new one inside. The piece that connects is shaped like a semi-circle, so I rotated it until is dropped into place. Then I put back the glass plate and it was finished.

Had to lift on the door for the microwave to run, suspected the door switches.
Ordered the switches from Partselect, arrive in two days. Had trouble removing the plastic connectors from the old switch terminals, one of the plastic protectors broke, but was able to reuse it. It took a little figuring out how to remove the existing switches. Must push in a tab and rotate the switch on a little pin, then remove. Must be careful not to break the plastic tabs holding the switches in place. Replaced all (3) switches at the same time. All in all it was pretty easy.

Carousel would not turn. Small plastic drive shaft broken.
Pried cover off bottom-center of microwave. It seems to be either glued or lightly tack welded. Removed 2 small Phillips screws to remove motor. Disconnected electric feed by hand. Don't let go of electric wire or small screws. They will be hard to retrieve from behind the rest of the metal base. Reverse process to install new motor. Didn't try to put small cover back on.
