Tappan Microwave "dead"?

I have an older Tappan Microwave oven. Model 56-4884-10/04334-... It was working fine, until I accidently microwaved a tightly closed container with some water in it, causing the container to literally explode. When I saw this happening, the oven instantly went off, the door swung open, and a large cloud of steam poured out. The house circuit breaker switched off, indicated also by an out nightlight in the 2nd outlet. I turned the breaker back on, and the nightlight came on. I unplugged and plugged back in the oven. I pressed all of the oven's buttons to try to get some response, but nothing comes up on the LED panel and there's no beeps. I was wondering if it might be something as simple as a replacable blown fuse in the oven, but looked around the oven and couldn't find where it might be. I also don't have the owner's manual. Can anyone offer me any assistance on if it could be inexpensively repaired or if it's ready for the junkyard? Thanks.
