Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave and verify the outlet has power using another appliance.

  • Check home power: Reset any tripped breakers or replace blown fuses in your home's electrical panel.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage to the Ambiano microwave cord. If damaged, the cord must be replaced by a qualified technician.
  • Internal fuse check (technician-level):
    • Remove the outer cover.
    • Locate the line fuse near the power cord entry. Test for continuity with a multimeter.
    • If blown, investigate for underlying causes (shorted HV components, door switch issues) before replacing with the exact same rating.
  • Thermal fuse: Locate cavity or magnetron thermal fuses (small, round or rectangular devices clipped to metal surfaces). Test for continuity and replace if open.
