My neighbor"s eight plus year old GE microwave acted similar. It didn't spark but it started spontaneously and would not shut off unless door was opened. I unplugged it for her as I was not comfortable depending on an open door to be a good temporary solution.

Bottom line: she replaced it with a new one.
