Hi
Interesting. I know how, just about every part of, a microwave
oven works and I wouldn't have done this. I'd have thrown
the thing away and bought another at a garage sale.
You also have to realize that I'm the kind of fellow that
once did a field repair on broken points spring of
a car with some cardboard, tape and several springs from
some ballpoint pens. It got me home.
Also, I doubt that a normal wall light switch is rated for
that large of an inductive load.

But they are cheap!
I still think I have the best microwave oven design.
HIGH,LOW,DEFROST buttons, and a rotory timer and power switch.
No fancy buttons ... like how often do you set 1:37 seconds to heat your
coffee?
