I wouldn't have done this.
I would have used an egg timer switch (one that turns off after a
pre set time) but otherwise it sounds a reasonable fix.
I know how, just about every part of, a microwave oven
works and
Then you'll know why the HV supply is almost invariably voltage
doubled AC and not rectified and smothed DC.
Also, I doubt that a normal wall light switch is rated
for that
large of an inductive load.
A microwave oven is a resistive load and most light switches (in the
uk at least) are rated adequately to switch a microwave (1.2KW for a
600W rated oven).
