It was having issues and kept blowing my fuse. I kept resetting my fuse and it would work again. Now, nothing. Could it be a blown fuse inside the microwave that I need to replace If so, what type of fuses are these? I can't seem to find Danby specific fuses online. thanks!
If it keeps blowing a fuse then there is something that is causing the current spike blowing the fuse. I would run a full diagnostic or ask a qualified electrician. Something else is most likely blown and replacing a fuse would probably just feed the problem.

If the internal fuse is good, it may be an open thermostat or thermal cutout on or near the magnetron or possibly on top of the cavity / body of the oven.
If it has a hood thermostat, that should read open, as opposed to the others, which should read closed.
If you or someone you know wants to look into this, we have *critical* safety, disassembly, and troubleshooting info at our site, and our link is at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk
We even have a VIDEO on our site that shows you how to safely & easily remove the control panel assembly to send it for service.
You can probably find an exploded view by entering your FULL model number here: http://www.searspartsdirect.com
There may also be a "mini-manual" hidden inside the unit behind the control panel, which is very helpful when troubleshooting.

suspect high tension diode or bleed diode faulty. easy to replace but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BE CAREFUL. THERE ARE VERY HIGH VOLTAGES PRESENT IN A MICROWAVE. YOU MUST SHORT CIRCUIT THE CAPACITOR WITH A GOOD QUALITY SCREWDRIVER IE GOOD INSULATION. VOLTAGE CAN BE UP TO 1500 VOLTS AND IT CAN KILL.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO DO, GET SOMEBODY IN

If it went dead almost immediately after pressing the Start pad, that\'s usually a shorted high-voltage capacitor.
If it went dead a few seconds after pressing the Start pad, that\'s usually a failing high-voltage transformer.

There
should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.
At
our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Chances are if the varistor fails, it fails drastically causing a short circuit across the supply. It will sit across the supply (it will look like a thick ceramic capacitor) and you can check for continuity after isolating that at one end. If it shows low resistance (it should show almost open circuit with a Digital meter), replace it.
It need not be the culprit. If you are familiar working with High voltage circuits ( they are lethal inside a microwave ovens as the current capability is high here), you can discharge the doubler capacitor and isolate the high voltage diode to check for shorts in the HT area.
