Switching off the fan involves reprogramming your Whirlpool microwave.

Press the microwave's "Control Setup" or "Options" button so the microwave display enters setup mode.
Scroll to the "Vent Fan" sub-menu and press "Enter/Start."
Select "Off," then press "Enter/Start" a second time to turn the vent fan off.
