Not sure of your problem, but one repair we had to do shortly after moving into our second-hand house was to rip the ducting in the upper cabinet all apart to clean a build-up of (probably) bacon grease on the backflow dampers. Over time it acts like glue and even though the motor was moving air the dampers would be stuck shut for a while especially in the cold temps. Gross.
Now if you cooked your bacon on a tray in the oven you would have had less grease
The buildup was from the previous hosers we bought from, not from us. If we ever do bacon it's proper peameal back bacon which is not a mess to cook TYVM. We don't eat strip bacon at all, except smoked approximately once per year. Check out these glorious savages:

OP: you describe the problem we had. You can do this yourself if you have some semblance of mechanical intuition and simple tools, it's nothing complicated. You don't have to remove the micro, it's all in the upper cabinet. Once you de-smeg the aluminum dampers, test for function before you close it up, they are supposed to fall closed by gravity, it's to prevent cold air from entering the house. Tape the hell out of the pipe and connections with foil tape so it doesn't leak. Once we got the problem fixed it has not returned, good luck!
