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.
