Possible Causes

Blown internal line fuse, Failed low-voltage transformer or SMPS on control board, Shorted component on control PCB, Power surge damage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the microwave. Internal fuses and power supplies are connected directly to mains voltage.

  • Check wall outlet: Confirm that the outlet is supplying power by testing with another appliance.
  • Inspect internal fuse: Remove the cabinet and locate the main line fuse (usually in a fuse holder near the power cord entry). If blown, investigate for shorts before replacing.
  • Test for shorts: Check the primary side of the transformer or SMPS and the line filter for visible damage or burnt smell. If a short is suspected, the component must be replaced.
  • Replace fuse with correct rating: Only use a fuse with the exact amperage and type specified by Telefunken. If the new fuse blows immediately, stop and seek professional service.
