The turntable motor is defective and must be replaced to remedy the situation.

There are three common issues, the magnetron "heats food" a cracked high voltage diode, a shorted high voltage capacitor.

Try:
1) Unplugging power and plugging back in
or
2) Press Cancel twice while door open (works on my Whirlpool).

Probably a bad door switch or mount. The door switch help file is here.

On some models though (you didn't mention yours) the door circuit is very complicated, and may be showing the door error due to a blown fuse or cavity TCO.

Accessing the cavity TCO for testing and possible replacement will require you to remove the oven from the wall.

If so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.

You can download Whirlpool owner's manuals and installation instructions here.

Most often with MW's the Magnetron fails that as well as the high Voltage Diode. MW's are NOT to be trifled with they are lethal to service and MUST be done by an experienced professional.
The best thing to do is contact Whirlpool, and ask for a referral to an authorised service center, make contact here and when face to face first only ask for a "Quote" as to costings and go from there.

Had this kind of problem (and others) related to the fact that the cable from front panel (on door) to the main board won't last forever. Later models don't have this kind of problem as they don't have control panel on the door anymore, for a good reason! For a while, the owen will work then door is closed, but very soon that cable gets more damaged and you have to replace it with a new one (or make a better and longer lasting one yourself).

My microwave on top of stove oven,whirlpool gold. When i closed the door but it keep said"door"and won't start.

You need to replace the sensing probe.
