Possible Causes

Blown internal fuse, Faulty mains filter, Open thermal fuse on cavity or magnetron, Failed control PCB power supply

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance before opening.

Basic checks:

  • Confirm the wall outlet has power and the plug is fully inserted.

Internal checks (qualified):

  • Remove the cabinet and locate the main fuse on the input side. Test and replace with the exact rating if blown.
  • Check thermal fuses on the cavity and magnetron for continuity.
  • Inspect the mains filter and wiring for damage.
  • If fuses and thermal devices are intact, the control PCB power supply may have failed and the board should be replaced.

If a replacement fuse blows immediately, there is likely a short circuit that must be diagnosed before further use.
