My under cabinet over range microwave died. Nothing is working. I've
check the circute and tested the outlet and cord, All indicate power to
the microwave.

Anything else I can try ? Before either service or buying a new one.

Thanks
Dick




How did you check the cord?
Not recommending this for obvious safety reasons, but I have brought
several
'dead' micros back to life by taking them apart and putting them back
together, cleaning all the contacts and microswitches I come across, and
replacing any popped internal fuses and melted connectors. If if is a
modern
micro with one of those damn touchpads, the brain probably crapped out,
but

If you're going to suggest tearing a microwave oven apart, you should be
kind enough to mention the lethal charge that can linger.
How long can a cap hold a charge? The ones I played with had all been
sitting for weeks, and I never opened the power supplies.
