I have to assume the power drain you're experiencing IS the cooking system being engaged in which case the switch(es) must be making contact at that time therefore it should be heating... if the heating system was functioning properly.

I agree with you and that is why I kept observing for a week to see if I can find the pattern of which causes it to fail. I have not taken apart the unit to see if I can find something loose yet.
the power drain(lights dim slightly, motor sound reduced) usually comes on(if it works correctly) after about 2-3 secs. that is when I know if it will actually heat up or not. if there is no power drain(lights don't dim and motor sound stays the same), I just open the door and close it again. I've experimented with closing the door lightly and closing the door harder. I would say the frequency of which it does not heat up is more when the door is closed lightly.
Again, I don't believe it is the switch either because the lights come on and the turntable rotates. but I can't seem to pu tmy finger on the problem. I'll open it up this week and see if I can see anything obvious.
