I would say you have a bad door switch or door switch mount, or your door is loose or out of alignment.
But since it's new, and under warranty, I would contact Goldstar (LG) customer service to have them repair it free.

Both of you have suffered at least a failed fuse and these are nearly always inside the housing.
Sometimes the fuse (which are calibrated pieces of special wire) will fail from metal fatigue but it can also mean that either the heavy current, high voltage rectifier that produces the magnetron voltage or the magnetron itself has failed.
Some units have separate fuses for the control and display electronics and another, very high current (~30 Amp) fuse for the magnetron circuit.
Do not attempt to open the unit unless it is, and has been, unplugged for an hour or more.
Gaining access is generally not difficult and either the back panel or top can be removed with a half-dozen screws.
The fuses may not always look the same but the most common is a ceramic case with metal ends and it might be pushed into a simple fixture that snaps over the metal ends.
If you do not own a simple digital multimeter, I recommend buying one. They are available from various sources; electronics and auto parts stores will have them for under $20 US or if in the US, check your local directory for Harbor Freight outlets. I have bought several for $3.00 there and scattered them around vehicles and the normal junk drawer in the kitchen.
Even the simplest of these will have several basic ranges and the resistance range is the one used for checking that fuse.
Remove the fuse from its clips and measure it between the metal caps on the low range (often 200 Ohms).
If the display does not change, the fuse is blown; if it shows something in tenths or at least below 10 Ohms, it's OK.
If you care to delve further into your microwave at all instead of replacing it (they have gotten almost too cheap to repair), comment back here again and I will try to guide you further.

One of two thing happened here...
1. most likely...One of the interlock switches has malfunctioned. Micro. will NOT opperate unless ALL switches are working properly for safety
2. possible...the start button on the touch pad has failed in the circuit.

well the cost of replacing so as it all works together is a decisoion I cannot make for you. But as they share common controls these things have a way of becoming bigger problems down the track. I would call the distributor for A quote on repair before deciding to ditch it.
I would think that the funny smell is the melting of a componenent or breakdown of a capacitor or even the wiring on the main motor of the unit. No repairs of this type are ever dirt cheap, so you have to weigh up thye age of the units the covenience and todays value of replacement. If it is a FUSION problem it may well be claimable on your home insurance so explore that avenue as well
Hope this is helpful to your making a decision

There is an inline fuse that is accessed by removing the outer casing. Follow the power line in to the magnatron and you should see the fuse. Make sure the fuse that you replace it with is the same as the one you removed. If this doesnt work then the magnatron has gone out.
