Whirlpool microwave - shorted curcuit board - any hope of a fix?

Question

My Whirlpool MH1150XM microwave night light shorted and burned part of the circuit board. Figured it's shot if I can't fix so I can't mess it up worse than it is. I soldered some small solid wire in where connections were burned. Didn't fix it. Still exactly the same. Control panel works but no functions work. Is there anything else I can check like fuses or resets or anything before I throw it away? Don't really have cash to buy another right now.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

By shorting the light connections on the circuit board you have caused other damage to the board that probably can't be repaired without replacing parts on the board.  Look into a replacement board, but you will probably find it is cheaper to replace the microwave.  Good luck.

Answer 2

Depending on age of microwave and whether it is built-in or not, the cheaper or more cost effective solution might be buying replacement microwave on your local CRAIGLIST.
