Small explosion inside unit blew out the flame sensor
Unit was painted inside recently, but apparently some paint fumes still lingered so that when the unit was turn on, there was a very small explosion that took out the flam sensor thermostat. This thermostat interrupts the white leg of the AC input and cuts off all power.Performing a continuity test on the flame sensor showed it was permanently open (no continuity). Turns out I had a similar part from an old coffee maker and when I installed this part, the microwave turned on just fine. So I order the correct sensor from Parts Select. Part installation involved removing the TT20 Security Star bits (4) and the right/left side phillips screws. Now the top/side unit cover comes off by pulling the cover backwards and up and out. The flame sensor is in the middle of the front section underneath the top cover, and comes out easily with pull-off connectors. There are also bendable pins that hold the sensor down flush to the top of the unit.

All power to the microwave went out.
PartSelect had helpful repair instructions on-line which made the repair easier and faster. Unfortunately, there were other problems with the oven that immediately blew the new fuse I had just installed. It was then determined that additional repair would most likely cost almost as much as a new microwave.

Powered Off completely
After reading reviews that there was no power what so ever and a fuse replacement will solve the problem, I tried it. Replacing the fuse is very easy (and I am not handy at all). All you have to do is remove the microwave cover from the top by removing two screws, slide the cover to the left and pulling the cover off. Then remove the grill in front of you, by removing one or two screws. The fuse is in front of you, use pliers and be firm but gentle. Replacing the fuse is easy but it did not solve my problem.

When trying to run, intermittently, the light would come on but the tray wouldn't rotate or cook. When the door was open, the tray would intermittently rotate.
I pulled out the unit and found 2 interlock switches that are depressed when the door closes. After cycling the door open/closed I found that one of the switches occasionally would stay depressed. The repair was easy (after I took off the panels so I could get to the switch) I simply removed 2 screws that attached the interlock switch assemblies to the main unit. Then I popped out the defective switch and popped in the new one. This did indeed fix my problem.

microwave just stopped working
First unplugged the microwave, took top grill off, took control panel off, took wires off and used color coded tape to make sure they went back in right places, took fuse out and replaced it and put every thing back and it all worked fine and to top it off my wife did it all. So it was pretty easy.
