If it went dead almost
immediately after pressing the Start pad, that's usually a shorted
high-voltage capacitor.
If it went dead
several seconds after pressing the Start pad, that's usually a
failing
high-voltage transformer.
If
it goes dead or blows the house fuse or breaker (or GFI) when you plug it in or open
or close
the door, then there's a problem with a door switch or door switch
mount.
If it's intermittent or
random, it may be a bad
connection, usually on the control board or a loose fuse holder, or
even an intermittent fuse.

Turn off the power before starting this process. If the oven is dead, the fuse is probably blown. Remove the two screws that hold the touch pad and control board in place to access the fuse. Once inside, look towards the back and follow the power cord that enters the rear of the microwave to the fuse. It should be a 15 amp ceramic fuse.
You have a blown fuse. There are about 5 reasons why this can happen. It can cost from 10$ if you do it yourself to 150$ to fix a microwave. So the cost of a replacement is always something you have to balance out. If you are technical, and own a meter, you can fix it yourself (with some parts)
usually these units reset automatically after a shock! It takes time for the over load circuit to reinstate power. If by 5 hours you have no luck , then the internal ceramic fuse has blown ( under top of cover)
check the circuit breaker first it may be the fuse is blown The fuse may be located behind the grille following the power cord on the rside of the unit. it may be a bad thermal fuse or oven thermostat.
your problem most likely is in your door aligment there are 2 arms that need to close some door interlock switches inside the unit next time press in on the door hold it and try to start or push down on the door after it is closed and try to start it
It could be a bad in-line circit breaker fuse.
Unplug the microwave and take the outside cover off. Look for the in-line circuit breaker fuse. Use a plastic fuse puller (not your hands or a metal tool as there is still voltage stored in the microwave even when it is unplugged).
Look at the fuse and see if it is blown. (The metal wire running length of tube will be broken. If you have one, test with an Ohmmeter.
