This is a known problem with this unit, and whirlpool has put out a Service Flash out on this. The reason this is happening is Electrical circuit interruption between the L1 and Neutral in the microwave invert circuit. This has to be addressed by a Tech.

Sorry to read about your problem.
It seems your have a general failure in the power control or switch failure on the unit. if you unit has power, and things lite. it is more likely you have a control/switch problem,

you can do it se the video and use the common sense. God bless you

see the information and use with common sense. God bless you. Door is not closed (some models). 2. You waited to long (open and close door to wake it up). 3. Controller is confused (pull plug for a minute or two to reset). 4. Defective interlock switches. 5. Faulty controller or its power supply. 6. Touchpad or controller board contaminated by overenthusiastic cleaning. 7. Defective/damaged touchpad.

probably a defective door switch and/or a door mechanism problem. .

Hi drk2676,

This error code F7 means that you have a function key stuck on ERC. You can solve this issue by replacing control board (also called ERC or clock).

Alright since (part #6) isn't a perfect part number, I would believe that you were shipped two metal brackets but most likely a non-metal part broke if anything. If you can take a picture of the part that is broken, then I can tell you what part to order otherwise if you can pick out the part from the following diagram, then you can do it on your own from the following website.

Microwave Oven Control Panel Repair Nationwide

It would be unusual for even a Chinese fan to have failed bushings in that short period.
If this unit has a conventional power supply for the magnetron, the noise might be caused by the magnetic field of a large power transformer. These can have a strong stray field and can cause other sheet metal near them to vibrate.
It isn't dangerous, assuming you don't poke a finger inside, to remove the rear panel and inspect the innards while it is operating. Using something that isn't metal such as a plastic or bakelite spoon (even dampness in a wood utensil can conduct a painful shock), you might try damping the vibration with it. If you can locate the source, you may be able to kill the resonance by applying a fairly large bead of pure silicone (nothing else) to the surface making the noise.
It it seems to be coming from the transformer itself, I would pull the plug, let the unit sit ignored for a couple of hours (there can be charged capacitors inside) then use a finger to press silicone into the transformer's laminations. These were once soaked in epoxy in a vacuum container to **** all the air from between the laminations to prevent exactly this kind of 'rattle.' They probably don't take the time for that any more.       

Your generator may be putting out a square wave instead of a true sinusoidal (sine) wave.

There is usually a circuit in the microwave which monitors the AC line for timing purposes, and a square wave may not be interpreted correctly.

I would consult the manual or contact the manufacturer or installer.
