Mine did this too. Also, at times when I would shut the door, the whole keypad would go dark and the clock would have to be reset. There were also times when I would push Start and it would do nothing. I'd have to unplug it so it would reset itself.
I used a screwdriver and forced the door open. Mine is about 2 years old and it's now dead. Biggest piece of junk I've purchased in years. Really ticked me off, no more LG products for me. I had a Toshiba that lasted me 22 years and the only thing that went bad on it was the light stopped working and the fan cover fell off.

You don't say which make/model microwave you have, but on every model I have ever seen the thing that sits behind the plastic cover is the magnetron - the bit that actually generates the microwaves.
Unless the microwave was a fairly top-end model, you might well be cheaper to just buy a new one.
Hope this helps,
Matt

You may need to reinforce it with a little epoxy. I prefer JB Weld for this task.
The area has to be squeaky clean and dry for the epoxy to bond, and it should be left untouched overnight to cure.

The motor that spins the plate is weakening and will eventually have to be replaced. You can get one fro repairclinic.com or other sites fairly cheap.
