Default Microwave oven catches fire. Repairable?

From being in the service business, and having experience with this,

if the microwave oven is out of warranty, it would be safest to
discard the unit, and replace it with a new one.

In the case where there is a seriuos short causing an actual fire, the
manufactures would normaly replace the unit during the warranty
period.

If it was a simple failure where there was no fire or hazard
condition, the defective parts would be changed, the unit would be
tested for performance and safety, and then returned to the customer.

Yesterday I was browsing a household goods store and saw a microwave+grill
for £29.99p - no-ones going to go to all that trouble on such a tiny margin.
