i take it you mean the microwave trips the rcd no matter which room you try it in?
In that case i suggest you throw the microwave away.
regretfully i am being serious, it obviously has a mechanical fault, this fault is something worn out /away, it will be a lot of gief getting a new part, not to mention the cost.
also microwaves are LETHAL due to a capatitor they have
with the cost of a new microwave being so low, a reapir is usually uneconomical, and also may take saome time

its a capacitor and it kills
As breezer says the charge from the capacitor can KILL very easily.
Most times if the machine is working properly there is a bleed resistor built in to the cap that will discharge it over a period of time. However these do go open sometimes and if the magnetron is not working there can be up to 8,000 volts sitting on the capacitor. OUCH>
