Sensor cooking on the Spacemaker range reads humidity, so covered dishes and a greasy sensor area both throw it off. That explains a good share of the complaints about cycles running long or stopping early.
Filters and the visible cavity are owner territory. Latch, door, fan and any high-voltage component are technician work, and this is one appliance where opening the cabinet at home is genuinely dangerous rather than merely inadvisable.
