Now in any setting, when I push the "on" button, it just hums. If I push it more than a couple of times in a row, it'll stop making any kind of sound. It OCCASIONALLY will start, but won't stop on it's own, and if I open the door to stop it, the same humming problem starts when I try to restart it again. Can ANYONE tell me what the problem could possibly be???
