Possible Causes
Blown internal fuse, faulty power cord, failed line filter board, tripped household breaker
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the microwave before any inspection.
External checks:
- Confirm the outlet has power by testing with another appliance.
- Check your home's breaker panel and reset any tripped breaker.
- Inspect the power cord for cuts, burns, or kinks. Do not use the unit if the cord is damaged.
Internal fuse (technician-level):
- Most Farberware microwaves have an internal ceramic fuse on the line filter board or near the power entry.
- Accessing and replacing the fuse requires removing the outer cover and working near high-voltage components. If the fuse is blown, it may indicate a deeper fault (shorted HV components or door switch issues).
Because of the risk and the need to identify the root cause, internal fuse replacement should be done by a qualified technician.
