The problem could be in the interlock; there's a solenoid in the door lock
system that is _NOT_ available w/ no suggested replacement; one would have
to find something to cobble up in it's place if that were it. I can
imagine that would be in the "nonrepairable" category for a standard-duty
repairman.

Speaking of such ............ ...

Actually, on reflection, the microwave oven lock is mechanical only; the
solenoid is only for the clean cycle--it prevents unlocking until the
oven has cooled. So, the idea of it being an unavailable part wouldn't
be the problem of why the microwave was deemed unrepairable...
