This is what we did.
When our microwave started having problems with the door (It thought it was open when it was closed and wouldn't work) I tore into it after watching some youtube videos. Got it working for a few weeks then it crapped out again. Bought a similar model (same manufacturer) at Lowes for just over $200 and was able to install it ourselves.
If you're talking a basic model to go over the range, replacement might be cheaper. If you're talking some kind of fancy 1000+ unit then maybe a once-over by somebody first would be worth it.
We had to rotate the fan during the install to get the air to go out the vent. It was pretty easy though.
