Make sure your microwave is fully cleaned out of any old dried food residue and that you are not using any kind of metal items in your microwave when you cook because this will certainly cause smoking and sparking inside your microwave.

Most like you had some corrosion or food particles stuck to your WAVEGUIDE COVER PLATE.

Here is a link to a short video that show you exactly how to replace the wave guide cover yourself:

I have a maytag model mmv1164ws when you turn it on makes a buzzing and smells like something burning!

Something is burning, there are high voltage parts in a microwave oven and they wear out. You probably need a new diode. Part number WPW10492276 google it

I have a MMV4205BAB mounted microwave oven. One of the small latches that hold the door shut is broken so the oven won't run. Is there a way to replace just the latch or do I have to replace the entire...

Unfortunately on this model you would have to replace the whole door.

Maytag mmv4205bab continues to run after time is up. The fan does not circulate, but it continues to heat.

Our microwave in office won't shut off. It continues to heat and fan is running as soon as we close the door. Tried everything, unplugged, canceled everything. Please let me know what to do.

Loud pop with smoke

Don't know why just plugging it into a new outlet would cause that unless you have a problem with that outlet. Sounds like it may have burned out the low voltage circuitry. I would advise having the outlet checked and certified safe before plugging anything else into it. Also, it sounds like the oven is toast, (Sorry!)
