• ** REMEMBER! **The microwave can still shock you even unplugged!!

    ALWAYS discharge the high-voltage capacitor first if you even think your hands will come close to any HIGH VOLTAGE components.

    Jeff mentions this: Anything in the high voltage ( magnetron, capacitor, diode, wires to and from ):
    ...Use a metal ( not the shiny chrome type ) screw driver with a insulated handle to short across ( touch both at the same time ) the terminals of the high voltage capacitor to discharge it.

Could be a blown fuse. Cheap fix if that's the case.

A blown fuse is a symptom. Someone needs to try to isolate and correct the cause. An accurate description of exactly when the fuse blows (shutting the door, starting heating, etc.) can help pinpoint possible causes to investigate further.

JFYI
