Unit suddenly stopped working. House circuit breaker is fine and power is at receptacle. Units lights and 3 speed fan also not working. Time does not show on display and none of the sensor touch pads work.
Sounds like you have a blown fuse. Sounds also like it is an over the range unit and you definitely would need help if you have to take it down to work on. Depending on the brand and model, the fuse should be behind the touch panel somewhere. If you put in the brand and model with your question, it did not come through, so I cannot be more specific as to how to get into where the fuse might be located.
Control displaying F1 E5:
There may be a problem with the Oven Control, or the associated wiring.
Power unit down by turning off the circuit breaker(s) for one (1) minute.
Power unit up by turning on the circuit breaker(s).
Monitor the oven for one (1) minute to ensure the error code does not display again.
Verify oven operation.
Either you have defected (weak) circuit breaker and wiring or bad Microwave oven.
The 99.99 % house hold Microwave ovens pull less than 15 Amps. They may have internal ceramic 15A fuse or 15 Amp internal circuit breaker.
To isolate your problem:
1.
Plug your Microwave oven to different areas (different electrical circuit) if the different circuit breaker still trips... your Microwave oven has a short - Most of them has a small ceramic fuse 15 amps fuse.-also check some inter lock switches at door .
2.
If the Microwave oven works Ok then you may have:
2a. You may overload the existing electrical circuit, try to unplug some other appliances
2b. You may have bad electrical outlet receptacle (Replace it with the same type , - may need helps from licensed electrician)
2c. Weak or defect house hold circuit breaker. (Replace it with the same type , brand - may need helps from licensed electrician)

John, Thank you for your response. I also suspected a fuse issue which usually is indicative of a larger issue. If this is the case what usually triggers this? If not what else might be the problem? Sears Kenmore Elite #401.88529011 made by Samsung.
