It's most likely a shorted hood fan thermostat or a stuck relay on the control circuit board. We repair these controllers nationwide with our $32.50 service. You can find out about that through the link in my profile. Concerning the thermostat, if you or a friend is handy, it's not hard to check and replace. It should be electrically open when it's not hot. My profile links you to my Web site, where I offer free critical text files on safety & disassembly. Lastly, you can visit the Sears parts Web site where they have helpful exploded view diagrams and where you can order a thermostat if needed. Sears carries parts for many brands. Post back if you need more help.

I HAVE KENMORE 665/61629 LIGHT STAYS ON. AND DO NOT COOKS. AND THE FAN DOES NOT WORK.
SOURCE: capacitor burned out? horrible burnt smell.
YOUR GOING TO NEED A NEW MICROWAVE . the cap may be bad but the real bad smell you have is most likely the HV tranformer , if the magntron shorts to ground there will be a small smell if you dont pick up on that and your microwave is set to run another few mins the transformer will overheat and burn , then the fuse blows and the controls shut down . the end result , you have more parts bad than you have good . if you google " GE SPACEMAKER MICROWAVE FIRE ' you will see your not the only one , its getting to be COMMON . good luck

SOURCE: exhaust vent won't turn off
I've found information on models FMV145KB3 and FMV145KS3 but not FMV145KF3, but this should still apply.
This will be either a shorted hood vent thermostat on the floor of the
chassis of the oven, or a shorted triac or relay on the control circuit
board.
There
should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit
behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.
At
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
If it's a thermostat, you should be able to get it here.
If the thermostat is good (reads open) then the problem will be on the control circuit board.
We regularly repair such control units for
customers nationwide by mail for $39.95 postpaid in about a
week or so with a one-year guarantee.
Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your
full model number) for more information & help.
We're
happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your
thoughtful rating of our answer.
