It just stopped heating things up. A bit of research suggested that the most common failure was the capacitor, which was like $10, so I figured why not? I was going to have to take the broken microwave off the wall whether I could fix it or not.
Microwave repair can actually be quite dangerous if I understand correctly, as they can hold a residual charge which can be very harmful if you short it.
Did the popcorn button burn your popcorn?

Didn’t work, bought a new microwave.

There’s also some kind of toxic powder in there that’ll just straight up make you dead. Or so I have heard from youtube

So many reasons to never open a microwave, giant capacitor, high voltage, the fact it’s a radiation machine.
