Slow Start For Magnetron Cooling Fan

The magnetron cooling fan on my Whirlpool gh5184xpb-4 microwave often sounds like it starts out very weak for the first 5 seconds of a cooking cycle, then speeds up to normal.  A) will this turn into a problem?  B) How can I fix it?  Do I need a new fan motor, can I clean the fan motor, or is it a different issue?  Thanks for your help?
