If your range hood or microwave recirculates back in to the room.
Both filters are required. The mesh filter catches the grease & air particulate. The carbon filter should be changed regularly www.HoodFilterFactory.com ( avoid range fires that spread quickly) & clears the recirculated air from smoke,odors, & airborne particulate.
With yours venting to the outside, you ONLY need the mesh filter. These filters should be cleaned regularly ( Avoid mentioned hazard) & should be replaced when you can no longer clean them enough to see through them when holding up to the light.
what this indicate is that there have been a disconnection from then wire or that the element is weak which will need a replacement
what you will have to do pertaining to the wire open (unscrew) the oven the trace the wire down to the element it is silver in colour it is heat provider check if there is an form of disconnection from it if there is fix up make sure that the wire is connected to the element at the then couple it back to is position then put on the power supply to see if the problem is solve ,if the problem remain then it mean that the element is weak it will need to be replace as i said early.
please when replacing make sure that the weak element is as same as the new one ,in size and the shape so as to be compatible.
please note this all form of power supply should be of from the oven
Check the cabinet over the top of the microwave, the unit should be vented to the outside of your home, if not it was a venting model and just never connected to the vents.

Even though you didn't mention your model number, since you posted this under MMV4205, I'll assume that's what you have.

helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full
model number from the tag on the oven here.
If by door latch you mean the hook-like latch head that protrudes from the door, you will need to take the door apart to fix it.
Please do not remove the door. When a door is removed, one must be sure it is remounted exactly to prevent leakage, which can pose a risk or arcing or even fire.
Normally you have to
separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo)
to access the parts.
Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I
made) that demonstrates how it's done.

Aounds like ***********-in-law cooked the magnetron. If a microwave runs for an extended period with nothing in it, the magnetron (thing that makes the microwaves) is likely to have failed.

Magnatron has failed, possible internal fuse to the Magnatron,or the Magnatron itself has gone bad.
Both are replaceable, but the microwave will have to be taken down to gain access to these parts to be serviced.
Now, depending on the age of the unit, it may not be wise to invest the cost for this repair, unless, is it still under the manufactures 1 year warranty or did you purchase an extended service contract on this unit?
Good Luck !
Depending on the model you may need a 15 or even up to a 20 amp circuit to operate the microwave. Check the installation instructions to be sure. What is most likely happening is the circuit in your home is not powerful enough to run the load of the microwave oven. If this is the case it could be dangerous. I would strongly recommend you have an expert examine the house wiring prior to starting the unit again.
you have to remove the cover, un-plug the power cord= un-screw the screws located behind the unit and on the sides if any also under side if any, remove cover and you will locate the fuses and other components behind the key pad, also check slow blow or thermal fuse usually located on top of oven. NB: HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!!!!!
check the high voltage diode inside the unit,its connected to one leg of the high voltage capacitor and the other side to the metal shell of the unit,if this opens you don't get the high D.C. voltage necessary to operate the magnetron,be careful,the capacitor can store up to 2100 v.a.c.so discharge it first to be safe
Your unit has a good transformer, control panel, fuse and fan. You do have other problems which could be the HV diode, capacitor or magnetron. See my tip at http://www.fixya.com/support/r4223574-microwave_oven_will_not_heat for more detailed troubleshooting. It explains the problem, the solution and where to get parts. Let me know if you need more help.

Thanks for using FixYa and for the generous rating.
first if no power check the internal ceramic safety fuse, then check the H.V. diode for front to back resistance(hi one way-low in the opposite direction),then check your H.V. capacitor for being open(if its shorted it will blow the internal fuse), starts with some resistance on up to no resistance(carefully discharge the cap before doing any of these checks),these are your most likely suspect components if you have some power,but no cooking
