The unit was in use, opened door adjusted food, closed door, then loud buzzing sound, turn table stopped, still running and stop/cancel button on keyboard won't work while in process. Only way to shut down is to unplug or keep door open. When plugged back in, allows the resetting of clock, but once door is closed it starts buzzing and running again. Will not cease via control buttons. Please advise and thank you for your help.
It is one of two things, a defective door switch, or the keypad control board has failed.

SOURCE: constantly runs but does not heat
The circuit board is faulty. It should be covered under the warranty. Call GE or the place of purchase.
SOURCE: The microwave just stopped working
The problem is the magnetron. This is the part of the microwave that heats the food. partselect,com likely has your part with a diagram and great prices.

When I press the stop button it beeps, but doesn't stop the unit. When I press the start button there is no reaction or beep. But the other controls on the panel when push engage in the beeping sound. Could it be a relay switch on the start button causing it to stay engaged? How do you fixed a failed control board and is it an expensive repair? I so appreciate your guidance. Are any of these repairs something I can do myself?
