Hi,
Microwave makes normal noises but doesn't cook. Took apart and the transformer/capacitor on the top has the spade clip that connect to the controller board burnt off. Is the transformer at fault or could something else have caused it. New transformer is 100 quid so wanna be sure

Looks like what I would call a transformer but sure I read summat about ensure capacitor should be discharged before doing anything with it ?? But yeah the link above is to a photo of the transformer that site on top of the microwave chamber and you can see the burnt out spade terminal.
