Microwave repair in St. Hedwig & Adkins: what to know
A microwave that runs and turns its plate without heating has lost the high-voltage side: the magnetron, the diode, the capacitor or the transformer. The capacitor can store a dangerous voltage, so it is bled down before any testing, and each part is then checked for continuity or resistance.
Over-the-range models in east Bexar kitchens also do duty as the cooktop vent, so the fan and filters are part of the inspection.
Door switches and dead units
A microwave that is completely dead, or that blows its fuse when the door closes, usually has a failed door interlock switch. These switches are tested one at a time, because a monitor switch can short the circuit by design if another switch fails. The fuse is replaced only once the cause is found.
Vent fan and grease filters
When the vent fan hums but turns slowly, grease or dust has stiffened the bearings or packed the blower wheel. The filters are inspected first, then the fan motor is run directly to see whether it spins freely.
If the kitchen sits in a dusty rural setting, lint and dust can build up on the cooling vents too, which makes the unit run hot and trip its thermal cutoff.

No. The high-voltage capacitor can stay energized at a lethal level even after the cord is pulled. Leave internal testing to someone who discharges it properly first.
Most likely a failed door interlock switch. The switches are tested together because one failure can cause another switch to short the circuit on purpose.
