when a power surge or lightening strike somewhere along the line cooks a
microwave oven? Is there some internal breaker that can be replaced? I'm
gettin tired of buying new ones every four to six months.

there are internal fuses in microwaves that you can check. however, the
circuit board could also be fried and it will be cheaper to replace the
unit rather than repair it in that case.

Thanks folks. I've had the surge protectors. For some reason they work
everywhere else but on the dang microwaves. I even tried a couple of
expensive ones. I just bought another microwave so I'm going to take the old
out to the workshop and take the cover off and look around. I was kinda
worried about radiation but I figure, heck in the military I worked for
awhile in an Atlas F missle silo and I'm still here.

Maybe look into that circuit - outlet for grounding, house - panel
grounding and a surge protector on the panel, If its only the
microwave its likely that circuit wired wrong.
