first of all the microwave was blowing fuses anytime you tried to heat anything I tested the mag and it tested good Then I replaced the diode and the capasitor and it still pop's fuse even with the mag disconnected completely I am suspecting the transformer everythin works untill try to cook. Any help on testing the transformer or am I doing something wrong?

Fuses inside the microwave or the house fuse?

If inside, then check all door switches and how they are engaged when the door closed.

According to the Service manual (page 24) you have to check the high voltage transformer as well as the blower motor and/or control board. All procedures are described in the Service manual.

make sure that right where the microwaves leave the magnetron there is not any black burned stuff or any thing that will cause a refelction back . sometimes there is a clear piece of plastic of some sort that will get all black and cause a reflection issue causeing magnetrons to blow or fuses to open
