How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave before any inspection.

External checks:

  • Test the wall outlet with another appliance to confirm power is present.
  • Inspect the microwave power plug and cord for damage.
  • Check the household circuit breaker or fuse.

Internal fuse check (experienced users):

  • Remove the outer cover.
  • Locate the mains fuse near the power cord entry or noise filter board.
  • Visually inspect the fuse; if darkened or broken, test with a multimeter for continuity.
  • If blown, replace only with the exact same rating and type specified by Candy.
  • If the new fuse blows immediately, there is an underlying fault (e.g., shorted HV components) that requires professional diagnosis.

Note: Never bypass a fuse or use a higher-rated fuse. This is a fire and shock hazard.
