I've had the microwave for several years and have been using it on my kitchen countertop. But it does take up a lot of valuable counter space and there is shelf room, and an outlet, in my pantry.

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or a problem on the control panel.
Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside.
Door switches are most often damaged by opening the door while it's cooking (instead of pressing Stop / Clear first) or food

It sounds like the push to open lever is cracked or broken. You have to remove the 'wrapper' to open the door manually from the inside to check the 'door keys' or door hooks to make sure that they are in tact. Then, check the door opening lever between the 'push to open button' and the lower door key.

The problem I had experienced with the Door not opening easily will be resolved by removing the micowave oven top cover with a tamper proof torx head, replacing the door switch and reinstalling the top cover.
