Light bulbs had burned out.
I myself had difficulties replacing bulbs, as I have no feelings in my fingers, so I asked my son while holding the bulb in the bubble wrap, He had no problems what so ever.

No power to the microwave
Trouble shot first by removing the digital read out face plate panel, lifting it up and out. Found the thermostat housed on the bottom section (found a picture of what I was looking for). It had two connectors. Removed the connectors and noticed that the one looked burnt/melted that was on the thermostat. Took paper clip, connected it with the wires to bypass the thermostat. Plugged in the microwave and power returned. Yes! Ordered thermostat part and changed it out. The new part didn't have a piece that fit exactly into the floor of the microwave so I just made sure it was secure to the bottom. It is only attached by 1 small screw. Fixed!

No Power to Microwave
Microwave would not turn on--No lights--Nothing worked 1. Removed screws from back and side and pull off microwave cover. Be careful! There HIGH voltage back there due to a large capacitor that stores power. This capacitor is charged up even with Microwave unplugged. I checked the fuse located on top back part of Microwave. A lot of the time this is the problem but this time the fuse was good. I used an Ohm meter to check to see if there was an open circuit in one of the Thermostats. There are two of them in the Microwave. The Thermostats are about the size of a dime. One is located on the top right side and the other is on the top left side. One of them was bad. I ordered a new Thermostat. It arrived in just 2 days. I installed it and the Microwave was repaired and working great.

The light lens was cracked
Had to remove one screw from the light lens metal frame. Then slid the broken glass out and replaced. Pulled out the two prong bulb and put the new one straight in. Put back frame and screw. Very easy

Both Nite lights burned out, again.
So simple, unscrew the hatch underneath the microwave oven, pull out old bulbs, and insert new.

Turntable was making horrible noise.
Went on YouTube and found an example of my problem and watched it! That's how I knew which part to order. The part came within two days of ordering and I installed it within 10 minutes. My husband was so proud he told all the guys at work!
