Hello Karen Smith,

I think it would be nice to tell you MORE DETAIL... (sorry).

Typically the fuse OPERATES because the magnetron is getting burned out... but HEY fuse is cheap... check out the parts houses below (just that getting an UNDERCABINET down each time can be a SERIOUS PAIN.

"appliancepartspros" will let you order the parts and return
THOSE UN-USED parts... (pretty handy).

MOST likely from poor use & abuse...

I watched my sisters grand kids warm "butter pats" in her NEW convection micro-wave. It was VERY short lived...!!

There's A REASON they advise not operating them EMPTY. With care (reading instructions) some actually do get OLD.

I would suspect the power control board which is item #2 on the diagram.

Basic Microwave Oven Troubleshooting Tips

Replacr the internal fuse you will find when you remove the cabinet. It will be near where the cord enters the cabinet. It is a special fuse ... get a replacement at most hardware of appliance parts stores.

you have to remove the cover, un-plug the power cord=
un-screw the screws located behind the unit and on the sides if any also under side if any, remove cover and you will locate the fuses and other components behind the key pad, also check slow blow or thermal fuse usually located on top of oven. NB: HIGH VOLTAGE COMPONENTS PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!!!!!

There is always a fuse inside a microwave.Sometime this has only blown due to a surge,and upon replacing, the microwave will continue working.If it is something worse the fuse will continue to blow.In this case it could very well be the transformer,but there are other possible causes as well.(for example the control board or a short.)

i just took out my fuse on the same model. you have to pull down the microwave and take cover off. there should be like 6 screws on backside and cover will slide back and off. then you will see a fuse cover with a small cylinder fuse in a plastic cover. pull it out and check continuity with volt meter. mine unfortunately came up good still, so i dont know what kinda problem mine is having. had a short in light and it popped and power was gone. good luck!!

Check the internal fuse. Unplug it, unscrew and take off the cover, the fuse should be easily found in the back by the power cord. It looks like a regular fuse but is white instead of clear glass because microwave fuses are special. You'll have to measure it with a meter as a result and be sure to replace it with the same kind. (try finding them at radio shack) Hopefully there isn't something more serious also.
Hope ya fix it!
