It sounds like the door sensing (primary interlock ) switch is bad. Sometimes, the contacts can get dirty and not close to zero ohms, telling the CPU that the door is closed. It could also be a loose or dirty connector at the switch or a loose ground. Then, possibly a bad control PCB.

How do I fix a microwave that counts down and does not turn on?

Appears to need a replacement door switch, might just be cheaper to get a new microwave if it is old.
They are made to close tightly and sealed so you are not exposed to microwaves. Not sure how safe you are overriding the microwave safety feature standing nest to it holding door.

I have GE JVM1540DN1BB microwawe. It beeps all the time and says "keypad sorted" and service needed. The beep sound is annoying and it beeps every 30 seconds

see this causes and fix it. God bless you
Touchpad and Control Panel If the microwave buttons don't work the touchpad and control panel assembly are probably defective
Touchpad If the microwave buttons don't work the touchpad might be at fault. Generally speaking, if the display is working and some of the buttons respond correctly but some don't, the problem is with the touchpad.
User Control and Display Board If the microwave buttons don't work the main control board is most likely defective and will need to be replaced.

Main Control Board If the microwave buttons don't work the main control board is most likely defective and will need to be replaced.

My Microwave flickers and buzzes

This problem normaly happens when the door is not closed properly for a long time and flashing and buzzing starts to give user a indication for same. Allthough it is not risky as microwave oven has safty door switches wich does not allow oven to operate while door is open. Take care and close the door properly before you leave kitchen..
