Every time I close the door of the microwave in the grill covered cavity on the left side (inside top) something glows red hot and smells burning. No controls have been pushed. Had to unplug unit to stop it from happening.

Burning odors such as melting plastic or burned wires when the microwave is in use indicate that the electrical components within your microwave are failing. Do not attempt to repair or troubleshoot electrical issues with your microwave, especially if you smell burned plastic or wiring.
