microwaves are dangerous to repair and not worth the effort.

How much do you need to spend on something that defrosts hamburger meat, boils water, & makes popcorn?

vent and light built in for the stove underneath.

Any exhaust vent has these, even the ones without a microwave. You are puffing your reply.

I hope you don't work for OSHA! I would hope safety standards are based on real life experiences and not the fact that you are "gifted".

Has anybody suggested buying a new microwave? $100 maybe?

You have spent way more than that in time worrying about parts and fricking with the thing.

Did you check the thermal fuse?

Blew a fuse after replacing capacitor. Total of $50 and 2 hours instead of $400 and an hour going to buy a new one. Saving $350 was worth the hour lost. Plus, I had fun tinkering successfully.
