Fixed the fuse and turned it back on when it made a popping noise and completely shut down. The outlet is functioning but the microwave is completely dead. Read in a forum that it could be the fuses. Should I try to replace the fuses or call for repair?

You have to have a simple multimeter to perform the troubleshooting. Let us know if you are ready to go. Gene.
