Compact microwaves are often squeezed into tight spaces, and blocked vents are a real cause of early failure. The cabinet needs clearance on the sides and back as set out in the manual.
Broken door latch hooks are the most common mechanical fault: the interlocks they operate are a safety system, so a microwave with a damaged latch should be taken out of use until it is repaired.
