Don't use it! Unplug it and take it back to the dealer-sounds like a loose wire or short.

Kenmore 62463 / 721.62463201 Stainless Steel 1200 Watts Microwave. My daughter used it as a timer for reading and set it to cook for 30 minutes with nothing in it. It turns on but is loud and no longer...

You probably fried the magnetron(it actually makes the microwaves that do the cooking). I bet you will find the magnet is broken(from excessive heat). There should be a diagnostic guide sheet somewhere inside the housing(due to running production changes,this is a guide for the pros to test the power supply,magnetron,etc with an ohmmeter to determine which is defective.

Sharp R408LS keeps sparking after minimal use. This is our 3rd one. This is mounted on an inside cabintet.

The magnetron is arcing in the interior and will eventually burn out. Check the inside for bare metal or food particals, if okay! the magnetron is breaking down and will eventually go.

Microwave KB-6024MS does not heat.

This indicates three parts that can be the culprit, the magnetron "common problem" or the high voltage capacitor or diode, all three work together to heat food. Depending on the nature of the repair will determine the price for parts and labor and may approach the cost of a new one.

Replacing inverter board for my sharp R-2130JS microwave

I do not know how to specifically replace the "inverter board" in this model. On most microwaves I've repaired, though, the hardest part is getting them dismounted from the wall if they are rangehood models. I suspect that the inverter board is held onto the chassis with two phillips screws, and all the connections thereto are modular and therefore easily disconnectable and swapped out. The great majority of times, manuafactureres do NOT put multiple connectors of the same pin count and oriention on a circuit board. Give it a go.
