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. IS there anything else self serviceable and cheap enough to warrant repairing instead of buying a new one?

    I bought a reasonably priced microwave at Walmart and was able to install it myself in my trailer.

    Found something online that seems to indicate it's either a capacitor (sounds most like it) or a transformer. Any ideas?

    Replace it. Not the way I was raised but times have changed.

    On a 10 year old unit it's not worth repairing, once you fix one thing something else will go bad.
