West Bend 900 Watt, approximately 2-3 years old
I also have 1 of that , I set the timer in 2 sec [start] when that happens to finish its time setting. The cause of that someone press the [Cancelled] while its on progress.
Testimonial: "Thanks for responding so quickly. Unfortunately, that did not correct my situation. Perhaps I did not explain it fully: Say, to heat something I punch in one minute, the appliance works correctly and goes off. Then, when I open the door, the turntable starts, and does not stop until I close the door. Next time I want to microwave something and open the door, the turntable starts again, and doesn't stop until I close the door. Does this help to understand what's happening? Thanks."

check the turntable motor if there is water inside the motor will turn when the door is open. i have had this happen on some sharp microwaves

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount.
Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside. Its continuity must be checked.
Door switch or mount trouble can be caused by slamming the door or by opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or occasionally a problem on the control panel.

Door
switch or mount trouble can be caused by slamming the door or by
opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.
There
are plastic mounts inside the microwave which hold the door switches
and onto which the door latches lock when you close the door.
The screws on these mounts may be loose. If they get too loose, the switches will not be activated properly.
Sometimes
it's a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate
just out of position. Other times, it's a broken tab on the switch
holder, allowing the switch to rotate just out of position. This tab
can be hard to see, since it is under the bottom edge of the switch.
One test that sometimes helps is to gently lift up (and/or push down) on the door or
handle as you try to start it. If it works or tries to work, then it's
a door switch mount or door alignment issue.

you or someone you know decide to look into it, we have critical
information on safety, disassembly and door switches at our site, and

You can probably find exploded views and order parts by entering your model number here at the Sears parts site.
There may also
be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or
hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when
troubleshooting & testing.
If you think the problem is on the control panel, we repair these nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in most cases.

Sounds like a door switch problem or stuck relay contacts on the control PCB. Do the light and fan run too or just the T/T??
