Possible Causes
Blown internal mains fuse, Shorted high-voltage components, Shorted line filter, Incorrect fuse rating previously fitted
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave. Internal fuses are not user-serviceable in many regions; check local regulations.
- Access fuse: Remove the outer cover to locate the main ceramic fuse near the line filter or terminal block.
- Check fuse: Test the fuse with a multimeter for continuity. If blown, investigate the cause before replacing.
- Inspect for shorts: Look for obvious shorts such as burnt wires, charred components on the line filter, or damaged high-voltage parts.
- Replace with correct fuse: If no obvious short is found, replace the fuse with the exact type and rating specified by Amica (usually a slow-blow ceramic fuse).
- If fuse blows again: Do not continue replacing fuses. A deeper fault exists (often in the high-voltage circuit) and requires professional service.
