    Like Bear said most non-working microwaves are an easy fix. Biggest thing that kills a microwave is opening the door with it running, fries one or more of the door interlock switches or blows the power fuse. Ssshhh here's a secret. That envelope or folded up paper you find taped inside some microwaves. Diagnostic & test procedures, wiring schematics and sometime a parts list. Useful information that can be hard to find sometimes and its free with your purchase.

    Just wanted to mention that for bad switches, just hard wire around them. Just be careful that you are otherwise using the microwave correctly to test (ie. close the door) when operating.
