Door switch isn't making a "ground" connection. The spring loaded switch has a couple of pointed pieces of copper that touch the chassis when the door opens - if there is rust at the points where they touch the circuit won't complete. I scratched the rust off the inside somehow (can't remember - curved dental pick maybe) and it fixed the issue.
