Question Microwave has a damp dirty smell while running

At first I thought it was the smell of the heating cooling system kicking in when I turn it on and off. But today I smelled the smell seemingly from the microwave. It was a like stinky wet musty dirty smell. What is it?

Is the microwave vented? Smell could be coming from the vent.
