Replace or repair microwave?
10 years old. Quit working. I pulled it out the other day, expecting to replace it, but found a replaceable fuse on it. Put a new one in and in about 1 second, it blew it.Did same thing one more time....

I'm not saying it is your problem but the magnetron is a common failure point for older microwaves. They are widely available and easy to replace. As previously mentioned, usually older microwaves are not worth repairing and cheaply replaced. If you like fixing things yourself, and yours is still in generally good condition, go for it.
Try Amazon for parts.
