It starts heating when the door is closed in certain position
Emerson microwave Model: MW9325SL
The microwave starts heating automatically if I close the door and pull the door handle down a little bit. When the oven runs in this way, any keys in the control panel do not work (no response at all). The only way to stop it is to open the door.
More seriously, it also happens in the Child Lock mode. This might kill children!

I would suggest you check the door switches inside the microwave oven just below the keypad, rectangular in shape. The switches are normally open or closed, set meter to ohms, unhook lead from one side and test with door open and closed. If readings are the same both ways the switch is defective. "check all switches"
Ok just figured this out! It is a problem with the alignment on the lower door switch. I took the cabinet off and lifted up on the door switch slightly and voila! It works. You could probably fix this without taking it apart, just lift up on the door ever so slightly. I hope this works for you.
