If you're lucky it's the internal fuse. Otherwise, there's not much other stuff besides the fan that's easily replaced.

It sounds like a cook relay stuck closed and this is why it continued to cook. When the door was opened it should have blown the monitor fuse (which is how it is designed to for safety) so that it cannot cook when the door is open. Or, a cavity temp fuse was blown due to the fire inside. Also a safety feature.

A microwave that fails to work usually needs either a fuse or a magnetron or a capacitor.

Easy....the reason the light does not go out when the door is closed and the microwave gun is not activating...is due to your door switch not "sensing" it being closed. Sometimes there two electrical switches on the door...yours probably have one and the actuating arm...metal tab on the switch is probably bent and need to be re-bent to sense door closure. Take apart the microwave and re-bent this switch tab...it's relatively easy to find and correct. The door switch might be bad too...won't cost much. 9 times out of 10 it's a bent switch bar.

If you just put the fan blade back on, it will almost certainly fall off again.

The best bet is to slightly rough up the contact area of the shaft with sandpaper and use a little super glue to hold the blade assembly on the shaft, and let it set a few minutes before using it.

I always recommend that you use the hood vent exhaust fan when cooking on the stove top to keep heat, steam, and grease out of the controls.

There should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.

When certain buttons function yet others do not the fix is to replace the touchpad

F 11 code. it is a touch pad error.
If you just cleaned the control panel it may have water in the panel causing a key to stick.
If after a day or 2 it hasn't dried out - then you will need to replace the touch pad.
