Kenmore Micro/Oven fuse keeps blowing

You need to share more infromation as to when and what you're doing when the fuse blows.

You must be observant and determine when the fuse is blowing. Clues are needed to solve problems.

door (micro)switch is bad... 8 bucks each replace them both

Check those 3 micro switches in the door latch assembly. A bad microswitch can blow the main fuse. This usually ruins the microswitch.

When you turn it on? You mean when you plug it in?

When a microwave blows a breaker but not the fuse, it's often a shorted monitor switch (usually the middle door switch) or one of the other two door switches, or a loose or broken door switch mount.
