DO NOT use SOS pads! They are made of STEEL WOOL and will remove the protective finish inside the oven cavity. Without the protective coating, the microwave can arc internally and ruin the magnetron. Use the green scrub pads you find in the dish detergent section of your local grocery store. They are considered non-abrasive. Use the green scrub pads along with a non-abrasive cleaner such as Soft-Scrub or 409. Wipe clean with a fresh water and dry with a clean cloth.

The easiest way to clean your microwave is to put a solution of 2 tablespoons baking soda in 1 cup water in a microwave-safe container and cook on High for 2-3 minutes. Leave container inside the microwave for a few minutes. Remove the container, then wipe down the microwave's moist interior with a damp cloth.
You may also add half a cup vinegar to the mixture before heating if you wish.

The cleaning lady cleaned the microwave inside and

It may be that the child lock has been operated accidentally, although if that were the case the POPCORN button should not work.

If the lock is on you should see an L in the display.

If the problem is the safely child lock you have to press and hold the
CLEAR/OFF button for about three seconds.

When I put a bag of popcorn in the microwave, it started but noticed it was making a funny noise so I stopped it and opened the door and there was a little bit of smoke coming from the side wall and it...

The first thing I would do is thoroughly clean the inside. Take particular care when cleaning around the upper left side. Sometimes a buildup of food steam or spray can cause the problem you are having. Never spray anything into the microwave, in an attempt to clean it.
Hope this helps.

Popcorn stain in Microwave

Uhhhmmm, paint? Inside a microwave? YUCK.... that would make food taste like paint.

The yellow stain from microwave able popcorn is most likely a permanant issue. I have heard of the vinegar water, bleach etc working, but never had it work for me.

I don't recommend you painting the inside of a microwave. Some paint is flammable. Almost all paints are toxic.

Kenmore Over the Range Microwave

If you think the window is stained, you ought to see the rest of the inside! Wife is probably right. (wink, wink, nod, nod)
Actually, you can take the cover off, remove the front panel without much effort and clean everything and get a lot more life out of it. Microwaves usually die because of heat related problems caused by buildup of yuck on the guts.
Hope Ya Make your Wife Happy!
