Helllo, asnowman here, please let me know what you have found when you removed the outer cover.
Thanks
After you have removed the cover you will need to check for several things. If you have a DMM, check to see if the power is making out of the transformer. Any voltages that you find will be a good indication. Let me ask further, by DEAD you meen that there is no indication of power at all.
Please let me know how far you are able to get.
While you are inside and power is removed, you can try to check the Diode and the big Cap and the magnatron.
Thanks

DMM is a Digital Multi-Meter or Volt meter. You should be able to check the large capacitor it is a large silver oval or round device that has the large wires hooked to it. The Cap should not measure zero ohms, the Magnatron is the large device hooked to the cap with fins on it and it should measure open or infinity ohms. The diode should be checked with the diode selection on your meter and should not read 0 ohms in both directions. My concern is that you should have some kind of power past the main fuse, because none of these devices can keep the unit from powering on. If you have no display your main board may be out and that would be a very expensive repair, over $120.00 by my last estimate, in that case it would be more effective to replace the unit than repair.
let me know how it goes.

I do not have an exploded veiw of this model.
Have you had time to check this out?
Why such a low rating on an issue that is ongoing?
Any progress on this after Chirstmas?

Hello Asnowman.
Unfortunately I did not find any resetable fuses under the cover. One reason could be that I wrote you the wrong mod.nr. The right mod nr: should be MT 244/WH (Whirlpool). The problem with a dead microwave oven remains, but I look forward to a solution proposal.

I did measure the voltage at the door hook locker ( or what it is called?) unit connections and finded out that there was power there. What is a DMM?
By dead I mean that there is no lights shining when connecting the power cable to the wall socket. And nothing happens when pushing any button at all. As far as I know the power is making out of the transformer. How do I check the magnatron, diode and the big cap, and where can i find the big cap?

OK!
I probably not have the time to check thoses things until after christmas. As you understood I do have a CMM.
Do you have a "Exploded view" concerning this oven model? (MT 244/WH). I have one concerning MT 744/1/BL. Do you know if there is a big difference?
