Buld replaced, now microwave does NOTHING

We tried to replace the buld under the unit, and it broke off in the socket. we got it out, and now the unit will do nothing at all. no lights, no nothing. the fuse is fine and our main breaker is fine. we have seen that you suggest repairing the board and when we search for you on yahoo...we find nothing. please let us know where to go and what to do...the search on yahoo does nothing for us.

It sounds as if an internal fuse has failed. You will need a qualified repairman for this, as ther are no user serviceable parts inside, but there are INSTANTLY LETHAL voltages present, even when the unit is off & unplugged.

Has stopped working. light gone off at same time. plug fuse has not broke. any ideas ?

There is a fuse inside the microwave also.It is a ceramic fuse,usually 15A.It has to be replaced with another ceramic fuse of the same rating.Bear in mind,the fuse blew for a reason,so if it is the interior fuse replace it after a search for a fault.

Have a Whirlpool RMC275PD microwave. Light bulb

no, no, no,,,its far to dangerous for you to open up the case of your microwave to change a light buld,,,
dont even think of going in there,,,
inside your microwave there are 1000,s of volts stored up in a capacitor if you tuch it you could kill yourself
have you ever seen a police stun gun working,,
it realy hurts you,,,,,
inside your microwave is the stun guns big brother
it dont just stun you,, it could kill you,,,
thats why you dont go inside it ok,,,
the light buld can be changed from inside the case normaly if it cant be, then drop it in the shop for a repair or use it with out a light in it,,
dont try and kill yourself just for a light buld

Sounds like the ERC board failed. It maybe covered under warranty, check that first cause a new ERC could cost around $150-$200. Anything electric can cause the .."what the*^&% just happened syndrome.
