I have never seen a home microwave that shuts down the unit to have you clean the air filter. Mostly they are reminders that stay up for a preprogrammed time. Have you tried to unplug the unit,let it set for a couple of minutes, Plug back in, set the time of day (clock ) and try it again?? If you get NO action from the touch panel, the touch panel may be bad.

The grease filter is changed from the bottom of the unit.
The charcoal filter is changed as follows:
To Remove Charcoal Filter
To remove the charcoal filter, disconnect power
at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or
pull the plug.
Remove the top grille by removing the screws
that hold it in place and sliding the grille to the
left (opening the door makes grille removal
easier). Slide the filter towards the front of the
oven and remove it.
To Install Charcoal Filter
To install a new filter, remove plastic and other
outer wrapping from the new filter.
Insert the filter into the top opening of the oven as
shown. It will rest at an angle on 2 side support tabs
and in front of the right rear tab. Replace the grille
and screws.

1. Unplug the microwave
or turn off its breaker.
2. Open the door, then
detach the control panel as shown in the video at http://www.microwavedisplay.com and swing it down, but without
disconnecting the wires.
If you have any trouble getting the grille off once the
screws are
removed, slide the hood vent grille to the left about 1/4", then then
pull it forward.
On some models there are L-shaped clips that fit
into a slot to hold bottom of the vent.
