some months ago the insulation strip started rising from below the glass window in the door of my micro/convection oven. Haven't seen any other comments to this effect.
Then yesterday it started making loud noise and not heating. Probably two separate problems.

> Probably two separate problems.
I think you're correct, unless it was arcing while cooking.
The warping is not a problem until and unless moisture can get rapped and damage the fine metal mesh / screen inside the door panels.
The lack of heat with a loud noise is usually a shorted high voltage diode or failing magnetron. I would of course focus on getting it to work before I tackled the door trouble.
If you or someone you know wants to look into this, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

Assuming yours is a GE JEB1095 as per your posting category, there should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel, which is very helpful when troubleshooting.
Here are some links you or someone you know can use for test help, but read their safety warnings first:
