Microwaves must be serviced by technicians due to the inherent dangers involved in repairing these appliances.

A microwave radiation leakage test must be performed on the unit following any internal component repair.

Hello,

Carefully apply the below recommendation on how to install an oven vent

Venting systems provide a way to clean out oil, steam and cooking smells from a kitchen. Without a vent, kitchens quickly become coated in grime from cooking, and cooks might become overwhelmed with heat and steam. Installing a vent for an oven is a simple task, requiring the most basic knowledge and tools. Paying attention to electrical safety is the most important part of this project.
Instructions And Material Needed.

• Vent system,Screwdriver,Temporary brace material such as a piece of lumber, or a second set of hands,Tape measure,Drill,Hammer,Electrical staples,Electrical tape

Instruction On How To Installing An Oven Vent
1. Turn off the electricity to the kitchen from the breaker box. Support the vent with a piece of lumber. Remove any cabinetry or decorative wood work from the location. Prepare an opening for duct work.
   
2. Measure the vent opening. Using a tape measure, check the length, width and diagonal measurements twice. This will help you choose an appropriately sized vent for the location.
   
3. Install the vent. Most oven vent systems include a template for measurements and accurate placement of support brackets. Place your template, and mark the proper locations for screws and brackets. Using a piece of lumber, or the assistance of a second person, brace the vent into its location. Check to make sure the ducts align before you screw anything into place. Using your drill, screw the vent into the location, leaving it slightly loose.
   
4. Connect the wiring. The instructions or template for the vent system will indicate how to properly connect the wiring. Connect the wires, and secure them with either electrical bolts or electrical tape. Tuck the wires into the compartment in the back of your venting unit to avoid damage to the electrical system.
   
5. Test your vent. Turn on the electricity from the breaker. Run a test cycle on the vent. Listen for any strange sounds, or faltering in the electrical system, which could indicate a problem.
   
6. Complete the bracketing. Using your drill or screwdriver, tighten the screws in the support brackets completely. There should be no amount of play in the movement of the vent on the wall. You can test this by trying to wiggle or shift the vent on the wall.

You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.

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.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

The oven always starts at 100% power. When you enter a power level from 1 to 9, the control board reads it as 10 to 90% of full power. So power level 5 is 50%, 3 is 30% and so on.

This is very simple just take the front pannel of your microwave off very carefully and clean all the contacts buttons this will fix your problem

Seems like the element has given up try replacing with new one.

No, there is no such thing inside it. This is because the voltages there are so great (over 5000) that even getting closer to the power source unprotected could generate an ark that would kill you instantly. Microwave ovens are the only home appliances that can kill you easily if you mess with them.
In your case the power source has failed and that should either be left to a pro, who has the special equipment needed to test and repair it, or just junk it and get a new one.
Remember, your life is worth more than a few hundred bucks.

You may well find that it just need a new motor. They are normally accessible through an inspection cover on the underside of the microwave.
They are normally a syncronus type of motor with a plastic gear box and the gears shear off. Replace the motor with one of the same rating, speed, size and voltage.
Hope this solves your problem.

Microwaves have a thermal protection device that cuts out power and prevents the oven from overheating when it gets very hot (burning hot). If it (or some other part) is malfunctioning, it is likely that the oven needs to be serviced.
Replacing the thermal protector, may not solve the problem, but if you can feel (or smell) heat coming from your microwave it may simply be the symptom of another component failing.

Remember, while you can do some repairs on your microwave, what you don't know can kill you... even on an unplugged microwave, so make sure you understand the dangers and how to reduce them before you try anything inside a microwave. If you want to do more yourself, let me know and I will point you in the direction of some good resources.
