This only happens when I am using the microwave to heat up stuff. The vent fan works fine without any vibrating noise. The microwave is part of the range/oven/microwave combo. so it is mounted underneath the cabinet, and hanging above the range/oven When I put a little downward pressure on the microwave, the vibrating noise goes away. If I apply a little upward pressure by pushing on the bottom of the microwave, the vibrating noise gets stronger. Any thoughts?

However, I got myself a new problem. When cleaning the front vent grille, I broke off the plastic part that holds the screw in place so the metal bracket grille (part 109) can be attached to the plastic vent grille (part 70). And the plastic vent grille is available for $90? Is it possible to get the part from a aftermarket supplier? What is the purpose of the metal bracket grille? Can I just leave if off? 01-Microwave parts for GE JVM1650WH01 - AppliancePartsPros.com
