Do-It-Yourself Story

Initially the microwave would cook normally and then when you open the door it would turn back on. This would happen intermittently. After doing that for a while, it stopped cooking entirely. The timer would count down but no cooking. I had to also buy security torx bits to get into the microwave. I found them at my local hardware store. After taking off the case I shorted the HV capacitor with pliers. There were no sparks. The replacement was easy. They just disconnect and pop out. The bottom switch tested bad.
