My Kenmore Elite model 665.61689 smells like burning plastic inside each time I use it. The vent inside gets very hot, but not sure if it did that prior to noticing the odor
The smell could be caused by many things. Usually it's the high voltage rectifier, high voltage transformer, or wave guide cover. If you can see the latter, then you can determine if it's burning. If it's the h v rectifier, it should be failing completely very soon. H v transformers are sometimes slower to fail. Whatever it is, it should be repaired asap as there is a risk of it catching fire.
