Asking how to repair a microwave oven is similar to asking how to repair a vehicle, or how to repair a space telescope. Certainly those things can be fixed, but there is a good bit of applied technology involved in building them, and that means anyone who is planning to fix one had better have a good bit of the knowledge working for him.
It is not a good idea to "tinker" with a microwave oven in order to attempt to repair it. It is extremely dangerous, as hazardous (even lethal) volatages are present inside a unit when it is powered up. The problem with a microwave oven is that there are a number of different causes for the failure of a unit, and to troubleshoot it requires a good knowledge of how it works. A thumbnail sketch of the workings of a microwave oven could be set down here, but they would probably prove insufficient to actually diagnose the problem. Additionally, it is improbable that a whole course of electricity and electronics could be presented here to allow an untrained individual to effect repairs.
It is better (and far safer) to have a qualified technical expert deal with any problems associated with a microwave oven than to do it yourself. Additionally, new ovens are not all that expensive in this day and age, and this is owing to the refinement of manufacturing technology. Call a repair shop and get an estimate or ball park cost, then make a good decision about whether or not to fix the unit or replace it.

The difference between oven cooked and microwave?
Microwave ovens cook food faster but are usually more expensive. Also food packages will have directions for cooking in microwaves, rarely will you find any with directions for a toaster oven. A toaster oven is a cross between a toaster and a oven. You can cook food that needs toasted in it. But you can also use it as you would a regular oven. It heats up fast so you can broil and bake without using as much energy as a regular oven or heating up the house. It is smaller so you would not be able to fit very much food in it at once. It is a good alternative though. Toaster ovens heat food with metal coils at the bottom which heat food evenly. Microwaves use radio waves to heat up the food. Keep in mind that studies have shown that microwaves ovens reduce the nutritional value of food.
