Hello dlanarobinson67, thank you for your post! From what you have described it sounds like the unit could possibly have a communication problem with the main control board, faulty magnetron or door lock assembly. Try resetting the unit by flipping the household circuit breaker off or unplugging it. Wait approximately ten minutes and turn the unit on. If issue persists, I would recommend reaching out to a qualified technician to further assist you or alternatively, visit the manufacturer website for a comprehensive listing of appliance techs in your area.
