MAY BE REPLACE MAGNETRON
I have opened it up and found the fan had fallen off. I guess it must have been transported at a angle that has caused it to travel along the shaft and drop off.

SOURCE: vent fan runs intermittently, starts on and off regularily
I read in a different online review that whenever a room is above 70 the vent fan will start automatically for this microwave to cool it down. It is a built in feature and there is no way to turn it off.
SOURCE: Microwave not heating food
check the protector connected at the capacitor and at the magnetron coil windings, check using an ohm meter.,meter should read to zero
SOURCE: microwave shut-off within 2-3 minutes
Why don't you return it? I think this is a common problem. We returned ours to Home Depot with no questions asked.
SOURCE: Microwave doesn't heat anything
Sounds like the magnetron has failed. This is the component that produces the microwaves that heats the food.
The cost of the magnetron is about 95% of the cost of a microwave oven.
Most people don't, for this reason, replace the magnetron, they replace
the whole oven which is probably what you will end up doing.
There is a possibility that the circuit that provides power to the
magnetron is faulty and you need to take it apart, find the proper
electrical leads and test them with a volt meter. To do this you have
to remove it from its mounting and take it apart. It is a fairly
lengthy process however.

The light inside the micro wave needs to be replaced most have a door on the back side that yo can remove the screw and unscrew the bulb and take to a applince shop and purchance a new one to replace.
