Microwave static noise

Hello,

Today I went out into the camper to grab something. I heard a faint crackling or static-like noise coming from the microwave. Of course, I tapped it to see if it would stop and it didn't. Haha. I tried turning it on and it ran fine but the noise was still there. I turned the breaker off to the outlet and it stopped so I am assuming it's electrical. Last month made 5 years since I have owned the camper and, of course, the warranty ended.

Has anyone else experienced this? I am thinking I should just replace it to avoid a potential fire.

Thanks,
Greg

Did the noise return when you turned the breaker back on? If it did, then unplug the microwave and see if the noise stops. If it does, it's "in the microwave" if the noise is still there, it's "something else"....

If, however, the noise stopped when you turned the breaker back on, it may have been a "hung relay" somewhere that "de-energized" when you flipped the breaker and is now "good to go".....

I wouldn't replace the microwave until you "know for sure" that the humming is inside the oven.

Thank you for the guidance. The noise did return after switching the breaker back on. I had it off for a couple of hours. I will try the unplugging after I unscrew it from thn cabinet.
