If it's under warranty, I would contact GE Customer Service at http://www.geappliances.com/service_and_support/contact/
If not, then I would suspect a bad door switch or a problem on the control board.

the door switches need adjusting. remove casing and adjust door switches

You probably broke the door sensor switch.
The part must be tested before replacement.
Parts can be purchased from Partselect, Appliancespartspro, or Repairclinic. Have a look on google.

You got it! One of the door switches is not activating. Take a look at the door itself first. There should be two tabs that stick out. These tabs will engage in the holes near the control panel. If the door does not have a broken tab then the problem is behind the control panel on one of the switches. There are 3 switches back there.
Unplug the power cord, it is usually in the cabinet above the microwave oven. Then take the grille off the top, the screws for the grille are on the top of the unit facing down. With the grill off you will see the one screw on top of the control panel, remove that screw and lift up and out on the control panel this will give you access to view the switches and test them with an ohmmeter.

I just had the same problem with my microwave. First DISCONNECT THE POWER. Remove the front top grill (screws are on top of microwave). Unscrew the one screw at the top of the control panel and lift it out of the way. You will see three micro switches to the left of the pannel. I bent the metal frame they were mounted to by hand to move them back into place. The microwave oven works great now. If this does not help, then I would consider replacing the top limit switch.
