The touch door open button on my microwave isn't working - the only way to get it open is to pry the door from underneath. It looks like the latch to the door isn't coming out far enough??
What usually breaks is the door open lever.
On an over-the-range model, only the control panel needs to be removed. Please unplug the oven first.

Once it is apart, you'll be able to see how the door open button would press against the door open lever, which would then lift up against the door latch heads (hook-like projections on the door) and the door should open.
Dacors are made by Sharp, and one of these service manuals below may help you.
