See this causes and fix it. God bless you
Turntable Motor
If the microwave is loud or noisy the
turntable motor might be worn out. This is a common problem and
relatively easy to replace.
Stirrer Motor
If the microwave is loud or noisy the stirrer
motor might be worn out. The stirrer is a metal blade which slowly
turns around, deflecting the microwave energy in a random pattern inside
the microwave oven. As the motor nears the end of its useful life it
begins to make grinding noises. The microwave will not heat food evenly
without this stirrer, the motor should be replaced.
Exhaust Fan Motor
If the microwave is loud when running the fan motor might be
Magnetron
If the microwave is loud or noisy only when
cooking, the magnetron tube might be defective. The magnetron uses high
voltage, high current DC power to generate the microwave frequency that
cooks the food. Under normal circumstances the magnetron is nearly
silent. However if it is damaged or nearly burned out it can begin
emitting high pitched or growling noises. It's not normally dangerous to
use a microwave oven when it makes these noises, but they are an
indication that the magnetron is almost dead and will need to be
replaced.

It sounds like your magnetron has failed.
I would put a cup or so of water in it and heat it for about 3 minutes.
Then check inside and see if you smell any electrical burning or other smell.
You should have a 5-year warranty on the magnetron.

E13 is usually a bad door switch or door switch mount.
The first step is to unplug it from the power outlet for one minute, then plug it back in and try it again.
If it still fails to heat, I would check the door switches and door switch mounts.

NOTE: There should also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting.

I'm confused. If it's 6 weeks old, you can get it repaired free.
If it's 1-1/2 years old, the manufacturer will cover the part cost of the magnetron (assuming that's what's wrong) and you will have to pay for labor and any other needed parts.
Also, the subject line mentions a model LMV1630ST while your message body mentions model LMV1680BB.

Chances are your problem is a bad magnetron, but it may be another high voltage part.

from what your describing it sounds as if you have burnt the antenna off of the end of the magtube if this is the case if your microwave is no longer under warranty due to the cost of the part you may be better off to purchase a new microwave.
