They're drawn towards the energy field caused by most electical appliances. So if you already have one roach there, I suggest tossing the microwave, bug bombing your place, and then buy a new one.

Clean your microwave right after every use, let it cool down for awhile leave it open. Then if it's cool enough, you can start cleaning it from the inside use only sponge and a little bit of water and dish washing liquid, don't scratch too hard and don't use any steels to take off the stains, it will damage the surface of the microwave and will surely affect it's heating performance. Just right after you clean it make sure to wipe it with a dry towel. Use only soft materials when cleaning your microwave. My microwave cleaning tips are simple.

Then heat up the oven with a pan (regular oven) or cup of water. Let it sit when done for 10 to 15 minutes and just wipe it out with a paper towel or cloth. It always has always come right off easily.

Take a damp sponge/cloth and wipe microwave clean. This may need to be repeated, depending on how dirty your microwave is. Just keep cooking the water for 2 minutes at a time. If a lot of elbow grease is required, you may dip the sponge/cloth into the water (careful, it will be hot) and wipe again.
