If your microwave buzzes loudly and produces no heat you probably have a defective power .... I have a whirlpool oven range and it's less than a year old. .... Humming sound stops when I open door to remove food, but when door is closed, ...
I suggest you have the microwave oven replaced, the prices have dropped considerably for the last several years and you have got your money worth out of the unit.
If the microwave oven is 10 years old then it is time to consider a new unit, by your description it is going into cascade failure where different parts have stopped working, the buzzing sound is the magnetron warning you, it is about to fail. The fans job is to keep the magnetron cool while it is running.
This is most likely a defective magnetron, especially with the burning smell. There are two other parts that can be a problem, the high voltage capacitor and diode, all three work together to heat food. If the magnetron is the culprit, probably cheaper to replace the microwave oven.
You can check the relay and related driving circuit. If there is a
short in the relay driving circuit there is chance for this type
of problem. or the micro processor may be defective.
