No, unless you know what your doing. You can get a servere shock, even with it unplugged.

You can, but you still need to buy the parts. Without a schematic it is rather hard also. You can figure door switches out, but you can't test the magnetron or high voltage capacitors. You also need a knowledge of testing diodes. If an internal fuse is blown there is a reason for that, you need to troubleshoot that also. If it does not work throw it out. You can buy a new one for what certain parts would cost. It is a lot different than it used to be when a good Amana was over $600. I have a Sunbeam I paid $28 for new, that was over 4 years ago.

You can service your own microwave, but I highly do not recommend it. By the time you have gotten it apart and fixed, it would have been cheaper to buy a new one. Also the older the microwave the harder it will be to find parts.

Certainly, if you do it right, but there isn't much inside a microwave oven that could break that you can fix. Like many products, microwave ovens have become so inexpensive that it is often cheaper to replace than to repair them.

there are some large capacitors inside that may hold quite a high amount of electricity. I would not recommend it.
