The damper is a door inside that opens or closes depending on cooking mode (open for microwaving, closed for convection cooking). If the controller senses that the door is not in the right position, it will shut down the cook cycle or display an error code.
This is a problem in one of the damper-related components, either the damper switch or damper motor, or the damper door may be binding.
I can provide more specific help if you will let me know your full model number as shown on the tag inside the cooking cavity or around the door area.

You probably have a bad thermistor.
You can usually find
helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full
model number here.
(At that site, that part is misspelled as "thermister" for your model).
There
should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very
helpful
when troubleshooting & testing.
At
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
Accessing some components for testing will require you to remove the oven from the wall.
If
so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have
two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.

Chances are that the thermostat / thermal cutout / T.C.O. (whichever it uses) has opened.
This can happen when the magnetron overheats, either due to it's failing, or if the internal cooling fan is not working.
It may also that be the 15- or 20A ceramic line fuse or the oven cavity thermostat / thermal cutout / T.C.O. (whichever it uses) has opened.
