Question about Electrolux Microwave Ovens
An expert who has achieved level 3 by getting 1000 points
You really need to be sure it's not running by itself - even intermittently - because that can cause arcing damage, or even a fire.
If you're not sure, leave the door open or the oven unplugged until you're sure it's not or it's fixed.
You can keep a cup of water in it and check it hourly over the course of a day to see if it coming on and actually heating.
It really shouldn't make any noise when idle except a gentle 60Hz hum.

Please include FULL model number*, FCC ID number*, + detailed symptom information.
* on the tag in cooking cavity or around door frame or control frame or on back

This sounds like the stirrer. If it sticks or stops, the microwaves can damage or destroy it. You may have a bad stirrer or magnetron. There is an important bulletin that covers these problems. To see if yours is covered, see: http://207.234.249.73/mwd/ge_mw_mag_kit_bulletin.pdf If you need more help, please follow-up.

SOURCE: Buzzing Microwave
the buzzing is the magnatron tube juicing too thousands of volts before emmitting the micro-wave radiation to what your cooking that turns molecules 180 degrees around... guess that friction is what really heats it.
radar ovens is what they use to call em and even people would stand in front of big ones to warm up long ago...lol canibles will love that.

I would recommend changing the diodes as well. This will usually take care of the problem.

By "powered off" can I assume you mean that it is plugged in and at idle, not cooking, just showing the clock?
If so, I'd say your control board is failing.
If my assumption is wrong, please write back with more details.
We regularly repair these control units for
customers nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in about a week with a one-year guarantee.
Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your model number) for more information & help.

Chances are you have a bad stirrer motor or the stirrer blade is jamming or loose on the motor shaft.
Your owner's manual should tell you how to remove the stirrer cover to check it.
If
for some reason you don't have your owner's manual, you can download it free here, as well as the parts manual for your model.
You can also find
helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full
