High pitched hum/buzz
posted by SBRILL on Nov 27, 2006
My Kenmore Elite microwave (countertop model) is making a high pitched humm or buzz, almost can't hear it at all. It's louder when you open the door. It works just fine except the sound. We unplugged it for now. Any suggestions?

By high pitched I mean it's definitely a different sound than what it sounds like when it's running. When it's not running the sound is so high pitched it's barely audible unless you open the door and almost put your head inside.
Since my first post, it is now making the noise when it runs too. It's not very loud, but certainly different from its normal sound.
The sound may be about the same frequency as the beep, but not as loud when the machine is not running.
My husband thinks it would cost less to replace it than to fix it. I hate to contribute to the local landfill, and would rather fix it.

GuruBy high-pitched, you mean it is not that same frequency as when it's cooking?
Is the tone near or the same as the beep you hear when you press a key?
