Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the microwave before any inspection. Internal fuses should be replaced only with identical types and ratings.
Steps:
- 1. Check outlet: Plug another appliance into the same socket to confirm power is available.
- 2. Inspect plug and cord: Look for cuts, burns, or loose pins on the Morphy Richards power cord and plug.
- 3. Internal fuse check (for competent persons): Remove the cabinet and locate the main ceramic fuse near the power entry. If blown, investigate for short circuits before replacing.
- 4. Thermal fuse: Check the thermal fuse mounted on the cavity or transformer for continuity. Replace if open.
If the new fuse blows immediately, or if you are not comfortable opening the unit, seek professional service.
