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....

When does the fuse blow? If it blows when you plug it in, the problem is likely the micro switches or the electronic board. If it all works until you start cooking, it’s most likely the magnetron or the capacitor. Just my ideas from fixing many of them
