Yes . The door switch is either out of adjustment or faulty.

    Actually I worked on it today and found the switches were all good and operated as intended. I concluded that one of the relays that are operated by the switches was not functioning properly. cft

Samsung microwave turns on when open door

The switch assembly is somehow staying "closed" satisfying the interlock and enabling it to run.
Disassemble the unit, beware specially of the high voltage capacitor, if you aren't comfortable or competent, buy a new microwave. If you are mechanically inclined, disassemble the unit until the switch assembly is accessible; it will have the door latch attached to it.
The switch is either broken or something? exogenous is keeping it closed. It may have come loose due to the door slamming?.
It's a simple fix. I am certainl you will be successful.

Unit starts automatically when door is closed

please review this and fix it. God bless you


  1. Interlock switchIf your microwave is turning itself on, the first thing to check is the interlock switch. This is usually the first thing to malfunction that could cause this issue. If the interlock switch is bad then it will need to be replaced.
  2. Main control boardIf your microwave is turning itself on and the interlock switch is still working, the probable cause is the main control board. If the control board is defective it will need to be replaced.

We have magic chef Over the Range Microwave Oven Model: MCO153U. Microwave was dead and no power

The original problem, was probably caused by a bad door switch along with the fuse, now there is a good chance the control panel is damaged, you will need a professional to assess if the item is worth fixing.

Our Panasonic NN-S763BF microwave turns on (light goes on, table turns and fan goes on) automatically when we open the door even though the clock is displayed. It works normally when the door is shut....

You have a faulty interlock switch (which the door operates).
This needs to be renewed by a qualified microwave service technician ASAP.
A potential hazard if not fixed immediately!

Somehow you have a short somewhere or the door catch switch(s) contacts got damaged. If you are mechanically inclined, you can start by unpugging the unit and removing the case so you can inspect the door switch(s) assembly. Determine what is "normally open" and "normally closed" on the switch(s) and then Ohm them out with a multi-meter. Some of the switches are mounted on adjustment screws for propar contact on the door catches.

Microwave runs when door is opened and is not programmed to run.

Sounds like a defective door switch.  DO NOT USE UNTIL FIXED!!  Or replace the unit.  Microwave ovens have door switches to prevent operation when the door is open because the microwaves are dangerous to humans outside the unit.  The door and cabinet contain the microwaves when it is operating correctly.
