I hav a Maximatic 4000 waste disposal. It hasa ben installed and electric power is flowing to it ( I have checked plug, wiring and fuse which are all in working order) but when I switch it to reverse or forward nothing happens. Is there another switch or something else I am not doing - there was no instruction manual with the waste disposal when it arrived. Can you advise or tell me of any website from which I can download a Users Guide / Manual?

SOURCE: Power failure

The fuse will not be on the circuit board.Try looking around where the door switches are, or back around the fan area.If you still can't find it, trace from the powercord coming in and follow were both wires go.

You will need to remove the top grill vent first, then you can remove the screws coming in from the top of the grille vent then that will expose a screw holding down the control panel at the top. Remove the screw and remove the control panel. The fuse is located in a little 1" fuse holder just behind the front panel near the top.

Testimonial: "That's helpful to know. Found a similar feedback, "is usually a 15 amp Cerramic fuse (white color). Appliance parts places usually carry it.thanks"

SOURCE: my microwave is completely dead, nothing works,

A microwave can be dead for many reasons.

It may be the fuse, which is usually located behind the grille, on the floor of the oven behind the control panel, between the door switches, or on the filter board near where the cord comes into the unit.

If the fuse is good, it may be an open thermostat or thermal cutout (TCO) / thermal fuse on or near the magnetron or on top of the cavity / body of the oven.

If it goes dead for a while during or after cooking then comes back on, the magnetron is probably overheating and causing the magnetron thermostat to open.

Then when it cools, it closes the circuit and allows power through again.

When checking TCOs or thermostats, if it has a hood fan thermostat, that should read open, as opposed to the others, which should read closed.

So don't let that fool you.

If the cavity thermostat needs to be checked or replaced you'll need to pull the oven from the wall.

If so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.

If it went dead almost immediately after pressing the Start pad, that's usually a shorted high-voltage capacitor.

If it went dead several seconds after pressing the Start pad, that's usually a failing high-voltage transformer.

If it goes dead or blows the breaker (or GFI) when you plug it in or open or close the door, then there's a problem with a door switch or door switch mount.

If it's intermittent or random, it may be a bad connection, usually on the control board or a loose fuse holder, or even an intermittent fuse.

There should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.

At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

Also, we do control circuit board repairs for $39.95 in most cases, and usually it;s only $25 more when we have to replace the low voltage transformer due to a surge.

So if your board was only $56, and your board was bad, it was an economical decision.

Old home, a electrical outlet actually has a fuse connected right to it. How to replace/install a regular outlet plug? I have a pic, but site doesn't appear to have a place to attach it.

electrical work is not for DIY
some one has messed with the electrical wiring of the house so get in an accredited electrician and consider having the house rewired using the correct ELB devices in the power box

What is wrong with our LG microwave oven ms 5646 it gets electricity, but it still doesnt go on?

Check the main fuse for continuity - inside the cabinet, near where the power cord enters. Stay away from all high voltage components as they can carry a charge of 4000 volts, or more, even when the oven is not operating.

Candy microwave no power

You have blown a fuse. Check inside the oven chamber and look for missing powder paint or signs of arcing, if so there is a paint to repair microwaves for this issue or else just dispose of the microwave. If the inside is good remove all the screws and remove the cover. Replace the fuse. If the magnetron was making louder noises prior then replace the magnetron. Since the fuse went the giant capacitor is likely bad. While the cabinet is open make sure to look for burned wires, check the continuity of thermal cutoffs, and check the main circuit-board for burned traces or components. The relays in most electronics are known for arcing (spot welding) and staying in the wrong position. Tap them hard with the back end of a screwdriver. During all of this use safe electrical practices by having the power cord unplugged. The capacitor could still have a high charge on it so be careful.

No power. Checked AC connection and have power

Most microwave ovens come with a fuse. Typically it is a 20 Amp fuse. Be careful if you decide to open the cover, the the fuse should be close to the electrical wires coming from the plug. Hope this helps.
