Answer

Hi Kathy. Remove the outer cover of the microwave and see if the interlock WP8206419 is broke. You can also open and close the door and watch the interlocks work in the unit. If so, you will need to replace the interlock on the unit. If not then you need to see which of the door latch micro switch button itself is being actuated physically correctly on and off as the door opens and closes. Thank You.
