My microwave fuse eventually failed just due to thermal stress ageing of the
fuse itself. More common than people realize). I replaced it and the
microwave lasted another 8 years.

My microwave oven, a 10-year-old Tappan 1000 watt, has
kicked the bucket. Is it worth it to try to have it
repaired (are microwave ovens "repairable")? Do they have
fuses that can be changed by a lay person?

TIA,
