Panasonic microwave, maybe 8 years old. Suddenly noticed new, odd behavior. When I went to remove something, the carousel was turning with the door open. I first thought that maybe a relay had failed, shorted closed. But then I realized that with the door closed but the microwave not activated, it stops. Soon as I open the door it starts turning again. Turns while heating too. I thought maybe it got in some strange software state, so I pulled the plug and then restored power. Still does it. Seems almost like it's a feature that got activated somehow? Like it's not necessarily a bad thing, if you have something in there and it's towards the back, in a few seconds, it's up front. But if it's a feature, IDK how it got activated, unless there is some secret key sequence that does it. But then you'd think with the power removed, it would revert back to normal. Ideas? Anyone see this in any other microwave?
