SOURCE: Panasonic Microwave Turn table rotates when door is open
Found this Panasonic post in the Samsung section!
If it moves just a tiny bit when the door opens and then stops, that's normal.
If it keeps running when the door is open, that's usually due to a bad door switch or broken / loose door switch mount.
If you or a friend decide to look into it, we have critical safety information, info on door switch diagnosis and replacement, and

Chances are you have a magnetron failing.
It's about time for the keypad to be going too, so unless it's a convection type or you;re really attached to it, it may time to retire it.

SOURCE: micro wave shuts down in 3 seconds
I experienced the same problem with my GE Microwave (JVM1650SH02) shutting down in 3 seconds and then having to reset the time and date. The solution was to replace the Magnetron. I called GE (888-239-6832) for a free warranty part.
Once the part arrived, I removed the microwave from the wall and cabinet.
Once down, I removed the top and side panel off the microwave. I then unsrewed the metal side wall to get access to the magnetron. Lots of srews, so make sure you keep everything in order. Once the side plate was removed, you need to unsrew the 4 nuts on the outside of the magnetron, and also remove the unit next to the magnetron so you can get the magnetron out. replace magnetron and reassemble everything.
Good luck -

Unless, something has been mishandled the last 1 1/2 months you've had and been using the microwave, It sounds like a manufacturing defect. In which case, since it's only 1 1/2 months old, it's covered under warranty for repair or replacement by Samsung. Consult your Owners Manual about how to contact them concerning this. Keep in mind, you must still have your proof of purchase for the Warranty to be enforceable. If you don;t still have the sales receipt, your credit card statement showing the purchase may suffice.
Hope this helps you out.
