Microwave make loud buzz sound occasionaly, mainly if I try to do popcorn but it does it with other food too

Check your waveguide cover / spatter shield for grease or food particles. It may be arcing.

To help you further (with free advice), I would need to full model number and FCC ID number from the label on / in your microwave.

After about 2 weeks of use, the microwave began to make a horrible buzzing noise from the "box" in the upper right hand corner on the back. It also smelled horrible. It then proceeded to stop working...

Two weeks? This is a warranty problem. The buzzing noise was probably either from high-voltage arcing or an overloaded transformer trying to drive a shorted component. The smell is from something electrical getting fried. Remember it; the next time you smell it, you'll know to pull the plug.

Panasonic Microwave NNSD277B 5yrs old makes noise after 20sec on (bUzzing and popping)and internal light flashes. Should be replaced or fixed ? what could be the problem?

You should have no arcing within the unit. Assuming you have adequate food/water in the cavity, it should not arc. You NEVER run the unit without something to be heated in it!!!

You might check the stirrer fan which is often in the roof of the unit to see if contamination might be in the area causing arcing. The electric fields in th area are very high and arcs can jump.

If the insulating window is charred or has charred grease, it should bbe replaced.

Arcing and noise when turn it on

I cleaned the microwave really well. I used a screwdriver to pull the plastic cover out enough to clean behind the edges with a soft toothbrush. Seems to have corrected the problem.

Kenmore 721.80524500 makes a buzzing, grinding noise

Your problem is due to the "magnetron" arcing to the wave guide within the microwave. Picture someone arc-welding stuff together inside the microwave casing, that's essentially what's happening. It is a fire hazard and you should stop using the microwave immediately. As far as I know, there isn't a recall on that particular model (though there was on another similar Kenmore/Whirlpool model) so if it's out of warranty, you're out of luck.

Buzzing noise and flashing

Some units have a silica plate covering the waveguide opening. If it get burn spots on it, it'll do that. Remove the plate and try the unit. If it's OK, go to your MW repair shop and order a new plate.

Remember... always cover your food...
