Whirlpool Microwave Power problem?

I unplugged the Whirlpool Microwave GH5184 to replace a light bulb. When plugged back in, there is no power. No lights, no display, no anything. Power is OK in receptacle. Line fuse in microwave is OK. What am I missing???

Sometimes when a lamp blows, it takes out the low volt transformer, or low volt transformer pcb. Have you checked that? Have a look at the tracking.

It could also be a faulty cavity or Mag' thermal??

Make sure there's no hidden small fuse's on the control pcb that have blown too.

Check for power supply into the unit, and also check for continuity through the mains cable.

If everything is fine, then you might need to replace the L.V. pcb, or the control pcb.
