It's not a dangerous or diffcult job for a do-it-yourselfer.
That would be the waveguide cover (also called the stirrer fan cover), and it would need to be replaced to prevent future damage to the magnetron.
Check your model number sticker to get the full model number with suffix and the manufacturer number (PACO1860AB0 for example).
Then you can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383

Since your waveguide cover
is burned, it will need to be replaced. It provides important
protection for the magnetron.
It is part # PCOVPA180WRP0 (copy & paste) and you can order it from Encompass here or you can call them toll-free at 866-779-5835.
In some cases the part is held in place with a rivet. Other times it just slides out of the slot.

happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your
