I have a 1995 Sharp Carousel R-1440. Our power went out then when it came on our microwave it no longer working properly. the clock works but when the door is closed the cooling fan starts running- it does not heat and the turntable does not move. "Clear" does nothing and the other buttons do not work (power level, minute plus, etc). the stop/clear works to allow setting the clock. The main fuse is good. Is something fried on the circuit board? Thanks

I tried to update this the next day, but I couldn't find it!

After reading the other problems and potential solutions I went looking for relay R1Y(?), but couldn't find it. What I found was the safety switch for the upper door latch was loose. So I taped it up and Behold! the moicrowave worked!!! The temporary electrical tape only held a couple days, so then I used rubber cement - that didn't even last a day. So then on to the real stuff; I 'super glued' it. That held the switch okay, but somehow the switch stopped working, it would never 'close'. So I managed to pry out the switch without too much damage to the plastic frame and am looking to buy another switch. (OMRON V-16G-3C25). I've seen it for $5 online (with shipping), but will be checking locally this week.
Thanks for the reply, I guess the storm was coincidental? Weird. The symptoms sure seemed like something more drastic was wrong.
