    We recently had a power surge and our microwave seems completely dead. The outlet where the microwave plugs into tests fine. I have tried the microwave on different outlets and still no power. Could this be a blown fuse within the microwave? If so, would it be safe for me to replace it?

    Different Brand of Microwave, but totally dead. It's hard to take the cover off to get at the fuse, since there is a special screw holding on 2 of the corners, probably to prevent me doing that.

The fuse is generally located on the bottom of the chassis of the microwave. You have to remove the outer cover on a counter top model - or the front panel assembly on an over-the-range model. There are several reasons why it may blow. If the fuse is loose in the holder, the fuse and the holder should both be replaced. If - with the microwave disconnected from the wall - you can easily turn the fuse with your fingers while it's in the holder, then it's too loose. What happens is the loose connection generates too much heat, causing it to melt internally. If so, you'll usually see a ball of solder at a point where the cap meets the body of the fuse. If the fuse blows as soon as you plug the oven in the wall, or when you open the door, the problem is likely with the door switches. You can find my files "doorsw.txt" and "safety'txt" via Google. They give you the safety warnings and cover the diagnosis and replacement of the door switches. If the fuse blows as soon as you hit START, then it's likely that you have a shorted high-voltage capacitor. If the fuse blows a few seconds after you hit START, then it's likely that you have an overheating / shorting high-voltage transformer. If you still have a problem, please wirte back with more detail. Be safe!

I have a Panasonic inverter microwave. Was working perfectly an hour ago. Now totally dead. There is no light or anything. Have checked plug and fuses. No smell or anything. Can you please help.
Could be a shorted inverter blew fuse and unit dead. Or bad fuse holder got fuse hot and melted fuse so now unit dead. Must check fuse first and if bad replace and try, if it blows as soon as it tries to heat probably bad inverter. If it works for a long while then quits maybe bad fuse holder not grabbing fuse tightly making it over heat. So then bad by temperature not amperage.

Inconsistent power
If it's totally dead, the main fuse may have blown. However, since it was inconsistent before it went dead, it might lead me to think that you have a loose connection. Sometimes they heat, lose continuity, and then work again when they cool. A defective thermal protector might also cause this.

Where is the fuse for ge spacemaker jvm1320wb-002...the unit is totally dead...nothing works
It is time to replace the microwave oven, if the fuse is open you more than likely have a more serious problem that will be costly, companies only go back a few years when it comes to supply parts

I had a fire in the microwave and now it doesn't turn on. Is there a reset button or do I have to go buy a new one? [email protected]
It sounds like an internal fuse has blown. Unplug unit and carefully open the top cover to provide access to the A.C. power cord entry point. Hopefully the fuse is located in that area and is the older style 1/2" long glass or ceramic body with metal endcap on each end. ONLY REPLACE WITH A FUSE THAT HAS IDENTICAL ELECTRICAL RATINGS! After replacing the fuse and top cover reconnect the unit to the A.C. outlet and check to see if it is still dead. Still dead = repair shop time.

NOTE: Use a "fused" A.C. outlet strip (usually 6 outlets with circuit breaker) for your "after fuse replaced" testing. This gives you additional protection against accidentally tripping a breaker in your homes electrical panel.

My Panasonic The Genius microwave just stopped working not getting any power to display. Wondering if it is the fuse and where that would be located.
HI, if this unit is totally dead, this may be a power inverter issue. there is a fuse located on this board inside the unit. you will need to gain access to this board and fuse by removing the outer cover. there should be a few screws on the outside of the microwave to remove.

Check the In-line fuse for its value. if the fuse is good, replace the power unit(inverter board)

Unit dead Unit is dead - suspect blown fuse
Usually, when your microwave oven doesn't work it all, the internal fuse (thermal fuse) is blown. This fuse protects both you and the oven. When it blows, you need to have a qualified appliance repair technician replace it.

The reason for this is that if you do not have any experience and training with microwaves, you can get a SEVERE shock, even if the oven is unplugged. THAT being said, if you still want to know where the fuse is get back to me. good luck.

ALSO, as you may know, a small microwave these days is under fifty bucks at walmart.

Sharp R1420B Totally dead. Power to unit is ok.
Most of these have internal line fuses inside of the casing. Once you remove the housing that covers the top and sides, follow the wires from the cord and they should lead you to the fuse. They are usually on the front rh side looking at it from the front. Be careful, even though unplugged, this unit still stores alot of electriacal energy in the capacitor.

My goldstar micro stopped working. No display. it's dead!! Is there an interior fuse and where is it located? Thanks
You may have a blown internal fuse. You''ll need to unplug the unit, remove the outside cover and follow the line cord and you should find the fuse.

Replace it with the EXACT same value that was labeled on the original fuse. You'll probably be able to find a replacement at any Radio Shack store or hardware store.

Replace the cover and plug the unit back in. Hopefully nothing was damaged and the unit will play again.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance to you.

Good luck!
