it sounds like the fuse on the inside of the microwave has blown.

The first thing I would suggest is a hard reset. Unplug the unit for a minute or so. Then plug it back in, set the clock and try again.

If that doesn't work, leave it unplugged for maybe an hour.

If you still need help, to allow us to help you effectively (at no charge), please post a NEW problem to FixYa, and please include your brand name and the full model number from the tag in or on the unit, your symptoms as shown below:

"just stopped working flashing a p and some numbers but no buttons will work."

remove grease traps on underside. Look inside and remove
clip(s) to wall
Open cabinet above, remove two bolts holding microwave
Slide out.

This is usually caused by either a bad door switch, a loose door switch mount, or a problem on the control panel.

Even though a door switch clicks, it may still be bad inside. Its continuity must be checked.

Door switch or mount trouble can be caused by slamming the door or by opening the door while it's cooking without hitting the Stop pad first.

There are plastic mounts inside the microwave which hold the door switches and onto which the door latches lock when you close the door.

The screws on these mounts may be loose. If they get too loose, the switches will not be activated properly.

Sometimes it's a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just out of position. Other times, it's a broken tab on the switch holder, allowing the switch to rotate just out of position. This tab can be hard to see, since it is under the bottom edge of the switch.

If the fan in your Amana 10D microwave stays on and doesn't shut off until the unit is unplugged and re-plugged, there could be an issue with the fan motor or the control board. Here are some things to try: 1. Check to make sure the vent is clear and unobstructed. If the vent is blocked, it can cause the fan to stay on. 2. Check the fan motor. The fan motor is responsible for turning the fan on and off. If it is faulty, it can cause the fan to stay on continuously. 3. Check the control board. The control board is responsible for controlling the functions of the microwave, including the fan. If it is faulty, it can cause the fan to stay on or not function properly. If none of these solutions fix the issue, it is possible that there is a problem with the microwave itself. In this case, it is recommended to contact a professional appliance repair service for further assistance.

Your Amana Radarange is overdue for retirement. Best to not even try.

The magnetron is probably the single most difficult component to get to in the microwave. In my opinion I would just buy a new one.

This could be several things: 1 the magnetron that generates the wave. 2. The high voltage diode. 3. The capacitor. Since it is a high voltage device and can injure or kill you, if you are not versed in electrical repair and replacement., call for service.

You can try checking out the installation manual for an idea of how it was installed. It should be sitting on a mounting bracket and not attached to the sheetrock itself. However, you might be pulling on the mounting bracket when you tip it forward. You should have an extra set of hands to help you pull it straight forward and out, instead of tipping it. The installation manual can be found at https://d1vofmza27mmhi.cloudfront.net/product-pdf/amana-amv1150vaw-installation-instructions.pdf. Good luck!

The LV control (mains side) fuse is on the control board. The HV (lethal side) fuse is housed inside a plastic shell, next to the HV capacitor. For both, the outer shell (microwave oven's cover) needs removal. BUT: Mains must be off, preferably about 15 minutes to allow HV capacitor to discharge through it's internal drain resistor. AND: There will probably be one or more security tamper-proof screws on the cover, to prevent accidental injury through electrocution. WHY: Microwave ovens are the most lethal household appliances to open when untrained hands poke around. SUGGEST: Get an experienced tech to check it out. What makes you believe it's a fuse?

You have a serious short circuit, I suggest you call for a service technician

Did you have a power failure? Could be an overheat situation. Try unplugging the unit, wait 30 seconds and plug it in again. This resets the unit as long as there isn't a breaker or fuse blown. If it is a power issue, the display should start flashing. Did you get any error codes?
