I have a GE JE1540 Microwave Oven and worked good for more than 10 years. Recently it got a problem. When the microwave oven stop and I try to open the door to move out the thing from microwave oven, it start working. Normally even if it is working, as the door open, it will stop immediately

In the cases I've seen, the fan starts operating and sounds like the oven is cooking. This is usually caused by one or more of the interlock switches being out of adjustment.

If and when an oven is coming on or doing anything by itself, this is very dangerous and can result in a fire.
So until it is repaired, please leave it unplugged or leave the door open when it's not in use, and of course one should never leave a microwave unattended while cooking.
Chances are you have a shorting membrane keypad.
Please let me know your full model number and more details on what it's doing and I can give you the information you need.
Keep your oven unplugged until you contact GE. Some of their units were having problems and were starting on their own later after the owner had left, causing a fire. Not saying that is the problem, but to be safe, please contact them and Keep it Unplugged until you do.
