Samsung Microwave
Model RE-630 TC
S/N 71207609
The fuse popped. It was replaced. The new fuse popped.
The defective part is most likely either the microwave magnetron or the power transformer.
What is the best way forward, and how much will it cost?

Most have 5 year warranty on magnetron. If it made a horrible smell and buzzing noise before blowing it could be the high voltage diode (relatively cheap). There's 5000 Volts back there so unplug and discarge the capacitor first.
If it blew when door was closed it is most likely a door switch.
If it's the magnetron it's not worth fixing. Last time I checked the're around $100.
