It could be just a blown fuse. I had a large countertop micro and called Sears to come fix. Everyone said I would be better off throwing it out and getting a new one. I ignored them and call Sears. Sears tech replaced a fuse for $4 and no service charge. He showed me how to take the cover off and where the fuse was and that I could get a pack of fuses for microwaves at Home Depot. A few years later the same micro stopped working. Got some fuses and presto it worked again and was still working when I donated it. Just a thought and it may say you some cash.
