Safety first: A door that opens during operation is unsafe. Stop using the microwave until repaired.

Steps:

Inspect door hooks: Look for rounded, worn, or cracked latch hooks on the door edge.
Check hinges: Gently lift the door to feel for excessive play. Loose hinges can cause misalignment.
Test closure: Close the door firmly and see if it latches with a solid click. If it feels loose, the latch may be worn.

Repair:

A technician should replace the door latch assembly and adjust or replace door hinges as needed.
