I have an 8-year-old Kenmore above-range microwave that is failing. Beginning a few month ago it started buzzing (sounds like a relay or chattering) and then it starts -- or not. The controller seems to work fine, and if it starts squirting microwaves it works fine, but more and more now it won't start and won't heat anything. What does it sound like is failing? Any ideas about repair? I do have experience with HV and have a lot of respect for charged caps! Maybe it would be better to just discard it and purchase a new one, but I hate to do that if this one is reasonably economically repairable. Sears wants $130 plus parts to repair. Thanks for any advice, -Harry
