We changed the 20amp fuse and that was not the problem so we returned it to Macy's. If anyone knows of a reliable brand of microwave today please let us know. All the reviews on microwave ovens recently are bad.
If it is cooking with the door closed and the cooling fan is not on, the magnetron will be damaged or destroyed.It may be a shorted cook relay on the control board.Otherwise it may be a bad door switch or mount.See: http://031d26d.namesecurehost.com/mwd/doorsw.txt
What else in on the circuit? Your oven should be on its own. If you live where I live, this should be a 20 amp 120 Volt AC branch wired directly from your power panel.If this is not the case, have a licensed electrician install a proper circuit for you.
If your owner's manual does not cover it, then it's not a feature.In such a case, one could disconnect the beeper.See a YouTube video showing you how here.

The fuse may have been busted. Try opening the microwave and replace the fuse which you can do it yourself - trust me. The old fuse would probably have darker/burned portion.
see this causes and fix it. God bless youIf your microwave oven doesn't seem to work at all, check these:FusesDoor switchFusesUsually,
when your microwave oven doesn't work it all, the internal fuse
(thermal fuse) is blown. This fuse protects both you and the oven. When
it blows, you need to have a qualified appliance repair technician
replace it.Door switchIf
the fuse isn't the problem, check the door hooks and the door-release
button. When these are broken, the door switch doesn't activate, so the
oven can't work
You need to remove the cover from the oven. Pull the plug first! Remove the Philips Screws. There are two special screws that are meant to prevent your proceeding further. No standard driver will fit these screws. You can remove them with small pliers gripping the outer edge of the screw and turning counter clockwise. If you are not familiar with capacitors, get somebody who is familiar. The light socket snaps in. Unsnap it. The lamp is taped to the socket with cellophane tape. I have never removed the lamp nor do I know the number. Do not plug in the oven with out the cover!!!!!
The owner's manual should tell you what that symbol means.If for some reason you don't still have yours, you can download it here.I would suspect a bad door switch or door switch mount. You should see my text file on door switches for more information.You can order LG parts from
