This is an extremely dangerous situation, if the microwave oven is running with the door open it means the safety interlock switches are not working the way they were designed to, and needs to be checked out for safety reasons. I recommend unplugging the device and not use it until it has been checked by a qualified technician.

Here is a tip that will help you to figure out what is wrong with your Microwave Oven....
Basic Microwave Oven Troubleshooting Tips

It
sounds like the turntable motor is failing or the turntable requires its wheels cleaning. If it is the motor, it is a synchronus motor
with a plastic gearbox reducing the RPM to about 5. The gears fail
when the turntable dish is turned as the motor stalls the
shafts.
Replacing the motor is no big deal.
There is usually an
inspection cover that can be removed on the underside of the
cavity.
Remove the cover and remove the motor.
Replace with the
same type and the reverse procedure will fix it.
You may however
require a self tapping screw to affix the cover back on. A bit of a
puzzle but not too difficult to work out!
Hope this helps.
