I read online that I might need to replace the capacitor(?) what do I need to buy. the mirowave issues are. 1 sparks and flashes 2 display is now unreadable.

If it does - it's not repairable. If the microwave is less than 5 years old, call Dacor - it should be under the manufacturer warranty. Gene.

I can see that the "Cover Wave Guide" has a burned area and even some material missing. Can I replace it easily? How do I get the old one off and a new one on? I have a hunch that this repair is not worthy of an expensive service company visit. HELP!!!
