That sounds like a wave guide cover that protects food splatter from getting into wave guide. will need to replace that cover and thoroughly clean inside of unit ans around cover. Those covers must be kept clean and dry!!!

Nuke, Sounds like your touch pad is going south. Why dont you kill the power, drop the control assy. and unplug the ribbon of the control panel to the board. Take an eraser and clean the ends of the ribbon where it connects to the board. Put it back in and see if that made a difference. If not I would suspect it's the touch panel. The part number I have for this is 53001508. Good luck.

This is the stirrer cover. It is important. It is to keep food particles and grease out of the stirrer and waveguide area.
If
grease or food particles build up, they can arc, which will cause burn
damage to the cover, stirrer, chassis, and/or magnetron.
If you have any arcing, you should remove it for cleaning. Be careful of sharp edges.
The stirrer's job is to stir the microwaves to ensure even heating, even when a turntable is not present or not used.

There would not be a reset button, but a hard reset can be done by unplugging it for a minute or so, then plugging it back in.
If that doesn't work, chances are you have a fuse blown in the microwave.
It's usually behind the grille, which is held in place by two screws.
Let us know what you find.

That "Cardboard" item is a wave guide cover and is critical part of the machine.
It is made of mica and needs replacing. The magnetron is OK as long as it does not spark too much or get any foreign items in there.
Replace the wave guide cover.
