How likely is it that egg explosion and subsequent clean up caused motherboard to go bad?
The circuit board is in a separate section so the motherboard can't come into contact with the exploded egg. Was any liquid cleaning solution sprayed inside to clean up the mess? There might be some crevices where cleaning solution spray could work its way into the circuit board section since it's very close by. Always use a damp cloth instead of saturating the oven with cleaner.

Check out this door frame diagram, specifically number 1805. It clips on to the door frame. Remove it using a dull table knife or something similar (be careful not to scratch or break anything). You will then have access to the bottom screw.

How do I clean the interior walls of the microwave over. Also any ideas about cleaning the glass on an oven.

If there's no damage it should be fine.
I would double-check for cracks, especially in the inner door glass and the screen / mesh.
If it looks fine, heat a cup of water in a microwave-safe container for about 2 minutes and see if it cooks without arcing or odd noises and that it boils in about 2 minutes.
As always, never leave a microwave unattended while running.

There is often a fuse and a magnetron thermal fuse or thermostat.
There
should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit
behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating
components.
At
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Hello
& Welcome to FixYa
The
problem is with the fuse or the high voltage transformer that is bad and needs
replacement. Replacing the fuse will cost you under $100 from a professional
and getting the transformer replaced will cost you around $200. As the unit has
very high voltage inside so we don't recommend that this should be done by the
user. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

I have never exploded an egg in my microwave, but for whatever reason my motherboard being over 14yrs old just went out.
It is highly unlikely that an "egg explosion" caused the mother board to go bad, however anything is possible. The way a microvave oven works is that the Magnatron generates microwave energy into the cavity of the oven itself. When the wave guides direct the enregy to the object to be cooked it does so by the heat created to anything that may contain any sort of liquid by making it viabrate that it causes heat to be generated. In the case of a microwave oven it cooks the food from the inside outward.
