I think the control panel may have failed.

The only real issue with the control board that could cause that is a failing relay or bad connection, both of which I can repair on a control board for $54.95, which includes insured return shipping. The first thing I would do is test the outlet. A toaster or hair dryer are good devices to use. A microwave must be on its own breaker, or at least not on the same breaker as a high-current device (stove) or a device that causes spikes on the line (fridge, freezer). It's possible you have a failing magnetron or high-voltage transformer, but I would need to discuss it to narrow it down.

The manual for model MWV150BKA is here but it does not discuss any adjustment of the beeper volume. It may have gotten glitched. You might try a hard reset by unplugging the oven for a couple of minutes, plugging it back in, setting the clock, then trying it again.

EASY get a machine screw, nut with washer. I believe I used a 1/8" machine screw.....(find something small to fit in the hole on the bottom hinge.

First step, take 3 screws off bottom to expose hinge area. Have someone hold it or support it so wires to the light do not pull out,.

Pop the machine screw through the front and then with your fingers get the washer an nut and tighten down.
If you want the professsional look. Paint the machine screw white first with a enamel white paint.
