How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave. Internal fuses and thermal devices are not always user-serviceable.

User-level checks:

  • 1. Verify outlet: Test the wall socket with another appliance. Reset any tripped breakers.
  • 2. Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks. If damaged, do not use the microwave.

Technician-level checks:

  • Remove the cabinet and locate the mains fuse. Replace only with the exact same rating if blown and if local regulations permit.
  • Test thermal fuses on the cavity and transformer for continuity.
  • Check the control board for power at the low-voltage section.

Note: If a new fuse blows immediately, there is a serious internal fault that requires professional service.
