Thanks Joe. The door switches are good, still looking.

I had the same problem with my microwave. The problem was the door
switch. Evidently the microwave was designed so that if it operates with the
door not fully latched, then it will short out the power supply. How dare them
design something that blows the house circuit breaker which could cause the
refrigerator to quit and spoil food. I bypassed that switch. The microwave
has been working fine for years since.

My microwave is working now. I replaced the large capacitor, but it kept blowing the fuse. After some research I removed the bidirectional diode and now it works normally.
I learned that testing a large diode with my DMM isn't possible, even on the diode/beep scale. I had to put a small current through it with a bench power supply to see any of the diodes in action. And I learned that there's such a thing as a bidirectional diode.
This troubleshooting took awhile because Amazon sold me a part number that should be a bidirectional diode but it wasn't. Glad I didn't have to do a flight test on this one. Just hot coffee.
