Possible Causes

Blown internal line fuse, Faulty door switch causing fuse to blow, Failed line filter board, Defective power cord

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the microwave before opening any panels. Internal fuses are not user-serviceable in many regions; check local regulations.

User-level checks:

  • Outlet test: Plug another appliance into the same outlet to confirm power is present.
  • Circuit breaker: Check the home breaker or fuse panel for a tripped breaker.

Technician-level checks:

  • Remove the outer cover to access the line fuse and line filter board.
  • Test the fuse for continuity and replace only with the exact type and rating specified by Electrolux.
  • If the new fuse blows immediately, test the door switches, line filter, and high-voltage components for shorts.
  • Inspect the power cord and connections for damage.
