Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before moving or inspecting it. Internal fuses are not user-serviceable due to high-voltage risks.
User-level checks:
- 1. Verify outlet: Plug another appliance into the same outlet to confirm it has power.
- 2. Check circuit breaker: Inspect your home's breaker panel for a tripped breaker or blown fuse and reset/replace as needed.
- 3. Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage, cuts, or burn marks on the Breville power cord. If damaged, do not use the microwave.
- 4. Try another outlet: Plug the microwave directly into a different, properly grounded wall outlet (no extension cords).
If the unit remains completely dead, an internal fuse or control board may have failed. Do not attempt to open the cabinet or replace fuses yourself; contact a qualified technician.
