You should be able to see or feel if the screws in the door hinge area are loose. Some can easily be adjusted, some cannot. If you cannot reach the screws or any adjusting parts on the hinge area, you would require a technical visit, however with microwaves, repairs end up costing more than the value of the unit at times, so weigh your options.
