Call professional. There are parts inside a microwave that can cause serious injury or worse if you don’t know what you are doing.

If you are sure the fan in the freezer is running and you don't feel any air flow out of the top middle vent inside the fridge section, then the damper motor must be bad. The damper motor is behind that vent cover inside the fridge section.
SOURCE: i have a Whirlpool range hood model #RH4930XD81
probably need new replacement parts......... new hoods these days start out at like 60 dollars,,, i would probably replace the unit with the age of it, because the parts needed for that will exceed prob 150 dollars

I don't know where you got the information that the high voltage capacitor takes 24 hours to discharge. The capacitor will actually discharge after a few minutes. If in doubt as to whether or not a capacitor is still charged, however, you should short the capacitor to discharge it. You do this by fashioning yourself a grounding probe:
1. Take a screwdriver and a set of alligator clips with a wire.
2. Connect an alligator clip to either end of the wire.
3. Connect one clip to the screwdriver and the other end to equipment ground.
4. Short the screwdriver across the capacitor terminals.
If the capactor casing is grounded (mounted to the equipment chassis) you only need to take a screwdriver and touch each across each terminal to the capacitor case.
CAUTION: Make sure the unit is UNPLUGGED prior to servicing any components inside the HV network. The HV network consists of the HV Capacitor, Magnetron, HV Diode and HV Transformer.
If you still have questions, please post back and let me know. I hope you find this information helpful.

Hi newer microwave ovens have a built in resistor to bleed the power from the capacitor once it is unplugged. Saying this it is always a good safety practice to discharge it.
The factory approved method is to purchase a 2 Watt, 20,000 ohm resistor and touch it across the terminals on the microwave capacitor to discharge, doing this with a tool like pliers so you are not touching the metal tips of the resistor.
Most technicians will use pliers that have insulated handles and touch the tips to the capacitor. I am not condoning that, just letting you know.
Whirlpool is conducting a safety recall on the Kitchenaid KHMS155L series (and similar models under other brand names) that display the F2 code or have been observed self-starting. Other symptoms may be additional codes or unintelligible info being displayed, and failure to execute the command entered into the control pad. To obtain free replacement of the control panel, call Ava at Whirlpool: 1-866-640-7146, extension 6337. She will want your complete model and serial numbers and a phone number and address where you can be reached. She will arrange for A & E Factory Service to contact you to set up an appointment to come out and replace the control panel at no cost to you.
