Hey davelendon, thank you for your inquiry!

Based off the information you have provided your Frigidaire microwave runs and heats when the door is closed. It sounds like you could be experiencing a possible short within the control panel or an issue with your door sensor. I would suggest performing a reset and you can do that by disconnecting the power cord for ten minutes. If that does not help correct the issue I would recommend having a professional technician out to provide an accurate diagnosis and replacement of parts if necessary. Hope this information is helpful. –OOS
