Whirlpool model mh1170xsy-0
Have you had trouble with the cooktop lights recently? The circuits for both lights and fan can be affected if so.
Does it happen when you are not cooking on the stovetop?
Your product support page is here, where you can get the owner's manual, installation instructions, parts list, etc. You can order Whirlpool parts from the Pros here.
If your controller needs repair, I do that. Details here.

Since you say it's new, it should be under warranty. I would call GE (see your owner's manual) to get a local authorized service center. Then while you're on the phone with the service center, you can start it up and hold the phone close to it to demonstrate to the technician how loud it is. They should be able to tell you if it will be covered under warranty so you get it fixed free.

Generally, the most common causes of a failure to heat are:
- bad door switches or door switch mounts
- loose connection at the magnetron
- problem or loose connection on the control unit circuit board
- bad magnetron or other high voltage part (such as a shorted diode)

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or a problem on the control panel.
Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside. Its continuity must be checked.
Door switch or mount trouble can be caused by slamming the door or by opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.

Yes, I'm trying to help you. Sorry about all the questions, but it's part of diagnosis.
Generally, the most common causes of a failure to heat are:
- bad door switches or door switch mounts
- loose or corroded connection at the magnetron
- problem or loose connection on the control unit circuit board
- bad magnetron
- shorted high voltage diode
At this point, it seems pretty clear that the problem is in the high voltage section, most likely the magnetron, but possibly the high voltage diode or transformer..
Here are some links you or someone you know can use for test help to find the defective component, but read their safety warnings first:
