Converter making bad sound

My IntelliPower 9200 has started making an intermitent sound like, "bzzzt bzzzt bzt bzzt." It's not a humming noise, it's more like arcing. It's also emitting an acrid electrical smell. I assume it's dead because it's not charging the batteries. I have a 2013 Arctic Fox 22H and my problem is the converter looks to be almost impossible to access without destroying cabinetry under the oven. Any advice?

    Here's a picture. Maybe you can see the converter lurking way back in there.

    I don't see a photo.

    I also suspect it's toast.
    as it is LESS than 10 years old Progressive Dynamics might consider a core type exchange for a factory Refurb.. Save you some bucks.

    Progressive Dynamics is in Marshall Michigan. when my 9180 fried (AlaS OVER 12 years old I paid the factory a visit... They do not normally do walk-ins but. Well. I was in the neighborhood (parked overnight at the T/A in Tekonsha about 15 miles south of 'em)

    Progressive Dynamics is on the corner of Industeral and a road the locals call Old US-27
    T/A is M-60 and Old US-27
    I'm a former Local.
