I actually am having the same problem with my old microwave. Mine also turns on when I open the door too (not sure if this happens for you though).
Anyway, to fix the problem of it not turning on (I wasn't seeing any numbers on
my machines display, but the machine DID have power, so hopefully
yours does too). All I did to fix mine was: I started pressing buttons on the keypad (my machine is digital and I assume your machine is also).
Not just any keys though, press the function keys (usually toward the top of the keypad). It might be necessary to do this quite a bit. Also,
don't just press one key over and over, try pressing random/different function keys with each press. It overrides the computer inside the microwave and in the process any issues which are keeping the programming from functioning properly (aka: numbers being displayed onto the screen).
If and when the problem is fixed, you should be able to press your clear button and then it should function properly.So to sum it up, the machine is probably getting power, but [probably because its old] the internal computer more than likely has issues (software and/or hardware issues) as can be expected with older machines like this.
This is just a temporary fix though, you really need a new machine (at least that's my case). Its just old and needs replaced more than likely. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at
