Doesn't cook 20 minutes at a time only 7 Minutes then shuts off
The unit could be overheating and shutting down, cooling off, and restarting. Check ventilation holes on back for dust accumulation and blockage. Check that cooling fan is turning properly.

It may be a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or a problem on the control panel, such as a sticky relay.
I would suspect a sticky relay first, but the door switches should be checked.

That is the magnetron faulty. The oven stops cooking, as the magnetron lose contact, when the magnetron restart working you hear that loud bang, and it restart radiating.
Replace the magnetron.
You find parts here or here.
SOURCE: microwave shuts down after cooking three or four minutes
Your magnetron is overheating and tripping the thermostat, which interrupts power until it cools.
Since
it's less than one year old, it should be fully covered under warranty.
I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer to get it fixed free.

SOURCE: oven won't function after 5 minutes of cook time with nothing in
It's posible that since it was running empty, the magnetron overheated
and a thermal cutout or thermostat located on the magnetron opened.
Magnetrons may be protected by a thermostat, which will reset when it cools, or a
thermal fuse, which is a one-time use device. It is also possible that
in some cases, a thermostat will fail when opened.
In the worst case the magnetron may be damaged due to running empty.
I hope this will solve your issue.
Good Luck.

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.
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.
You can find
helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full
model number from the tag on the oven here.
Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your
full model number from the tag on the unit) for more information & help.
