Whirlpool OTR Microwave Turns On or Off by Itself

This control board came from a microwave that would occasionally turn itself on by itself.  I don’t think the mag was actually firing, but the fan was coming on.  It would also occasionally make a high pitched electronic whining sound. Traced it to the control board.  This is the old control board – check out the corrosion on the back.  Never heard back, so it definitely fixed the problem.

    My whirlpool microwave turns itself on (2008 G2 series) and gets red hot on the top of the inside. Are you saying my problem is probably the control board? Thanks, Russ
