On a number of occasions I've simply removed the mica or plastic "window"
and discarded it, but this makes it possible for food splatter to enter
the waveguide - in extreme cases this can damage the transformer or
rectifier!

I was going to mention this but decided not to. You are correct.


Well the microwave is otherwise junk, so may as well remove that cover and
see if it fixes it.
