The Sears repairman quoted replacing the motor/fan assembly (part # 8184876). I wasn't sure I wanted to pay the quoted repair price of $325.00 so I took the Microwave down myself with some help and disassembled the fan/motor from the unit. I could not tell if that $100 part was causing the noise but the resistance seemed to be okay. I then ran the micrwave without the vent fan and the noise was still there. The only other moving parts I think are the turntable motor and a little plastic cooling fan in the control area which I don't believe are making the noise. I wonder if the magnetron could be making this noise? Any suggestions?
