When I open the door to my microwave, the turntable turns. It works fine otherwise.
I have a Panasonic Genius Sensor 1250 W (Inverter) Microwave Oven that just stopped working even though the light inside comes on when i press the quick 1 minute button. It all started one day when i open the door the turn table starts spinning alone and i disregarded it, then a few days later i start smelling a burning plastic like smell when heating up my food and i still disregarded that now a few day ago it stopped working even though the light inside comes on. what could that be? what should i do?
We recommend you have the microwave evaluated by an authorized service center.
Authorized service centers can be located in the below link.

SOURCE: How does one replace the door switch that keeps
We have that exploded view at our site here.
On the first page of that document, the door switches are shown as ref # 27, 28 and 31. # 31 is not the problem, #27 or #28 will be.
But the problem may just be a loose or broken door switch mount instead.
If the switch mount is broken, it's usually more economical and
safer to add a dab or two of hot glue to the mount to secure the
switch. Let it cool for about 30 minutes before using.mount.

SOURCE: MICROWAVE TURNS ON WHEN DOOR IS OPENED.
This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or a problem on the control panel.
Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside.
Door switches are most often damaged by opening the door while it's cooking (instead of pressing Stop / Clear first) or food
/ grease debris in the switch.

SOURCE: My microwave continues to run, (turntable and exhaust), when the door is opened.
all microwaves have 2 safety switches at least... but these are tied to a set of relays that turn it on, my bet is a sticking or stuck relay because you unplug it right and plug back in its not running?-relay ... if always runs driver transitors.
SOURCE: Door shut off malfunction
I have the same problem starting yesterday April 19. Have you gotten any answers.
SOURCE: Turntable wont stop turning, even when not in use
The turntable is a seperate intenty from the microwave itself, I would presume that the switch that turns off the turntable when the door is opened needs replacement.
