Kenmore micrwave overheated. now won't work. is it toast or is there a fuse/breaker somewhere that can be reset/replaced?
There is a fuse inside the chassis that can be accessed by removing the 4 side screws and the 6 back screws on the chassis cover. First unplug the unit then remove the 6 screws securing the cover to the shassis. Once the screws are removed lift the rear of the cover about 10 to 15 degrees and pull to the rear. The chassis cover will then come off. NOTE: There is a large capacitor inside the chassis that will stil have a charge. Make sure to avoid it when reaching inside the unit. Follow the power cord from where it enters the chassis to the end terminals. One of them will terminate at the fuse holder. Remove the fuse, obtain a new fuse of equal value amd intall same. Plug the unit in to see if you get some from of power be it a light inside or the contral panel lighting up. If it is just the fuse and you see signs of the unit having power once again unplug the unit and re-install the chassis cover.. Make sure that the cover interlocks on the front of the chassis properly. All mating surfaces should appear flush. Re-install the 6 screws and retun the unit to service. If nothing happens please reply to this post.
