Can anyone here fix a microwave?

If you get in a bind for one and short of cash the thrift stores usually have quite a few. [Beer]

Just like crossing the posts on a battery.

Probably the fuse, had a couple do that before. Last one was loud thought it was gone but I still use it in the shop.

Make sure to unplug the cord BEFORE SHORTING THE Capacitor.
If there was a large visible flash or spark, it will most likely be the magnetron.
Also is it a touch panel digital display or an older mechanical dial timer ?
Does the display and interior light still work or if an older type, does the interior light still come on ?

I bought a "Floor model" from walmart for 50%


+1 to the replace it
if times are that hard Brother, maybe we can pass a hat.

If it comes to it, and we get anyone passing through C/S up towards you, I have a spare I'll give you. A drive for either of us (even meeting 1/2 way) would negate the value to basically nothing over just buying one or replacing the defective part(s).

check your fuses, if it's anything more it's totaled.

I just gave a nice counter top one away last week...
