Everything is operational, timer, carousel, lights etc.. It does appear to be making a louder then usual humming when turned on.Exhaust fan opens normally as well. Any ideas? Thank you

Some microwaves have a 10 year magnetron tube warranty so you need to check into that before you attempt to repair this yourself. Microwave Repair Guide
