I will first try to repair it myself.A quick Google shows its probably a door switch issue. Some Microwaves have up to 3 switches monitoring the door, so they probably feed back to some logic system which is now getting confused due to a faulty switch.
Take it in for repairs and don't keep using it.
Excellent! Thank you! I will open it tomorrow.
(My geyser is spitting out water for now. Ag nee man, 'tsek!)
Reminds me of this guy who removed the door and slowly fried his intestines over time. Blerrie poephol.

microwaves emitted by a microwave oven are not harmful beyond their ability to heat you. Microwaves are non-ionizing, meaning that they do not have enough energy per photon to rip electrons off of atoms or break chemical bonds, which is what leads to cancer and radiation sickness.
Samsung piece of **** I bet.
So I don't need the door? Awesome. I'll take it off, will make life much simpler then.Yeah, I doubt that.
A microwave ovens' microwaves attenuate exponentially over a short distance, so unless your body is right up against the microwave if the door is open, the risk is minimal.
