Bush Overcurrent / Short Circuit Under Load

Microwave stops mid-cycle and resets, or the household circuit breaker trips during use.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Shorted high-voltage components, Shorted mains filter, Overloaded household circuit, Faulty internal wiring insulation

Safety: If the breaker trips, unplug the microwave and do not repeatedly reset the breaker.

Check circuit load: Ensure the microwave is on a dedicated circuit or not sharing with other high-power devices like kettles or heaters.
Inspect power cord and plug: Look for signs of overheating or burning.
Internal inspection: A technician should inspect the mains filter, wiring, and HV components for shorts or burn marks.

Because this involves mains and high voltage, internal diagnosis should be done by a professional.
