It definitely sounds like the micro switch. To test, fold a small piece of paper up and put it over the latch hook. When you latch the top this will push in the switch a little more. They should go up all the way.

If you do a search, you will find a thread that shows how to take the switch out and repair it. I guess it is a common problem. The switch is mounted on two posts inside and held in place by small lock washers. Over time, they slide up, which allows the whole switch to move, and not engage.

It happened on mine. I followed the simple instructions and it has been perfect ever since. Less than 30 minutes if I recall.
