Replaced 20A fuse - now display blinks

The unit was dead so last night I replaced the 20A fuse and the display started blinking but none of the buttons will do anything. Also I can hear what sounds like a relay of some sort clicking on and off on the right side of the unit but I can't quite identify where it is. After a few minutes the relay quits but the display still flashes. Is there some reset button in this unit? We only use it as a microwave. FYI - The last time we used the convection oven was probably 8-10 years ago. We really love it woulld like to bring it back to life. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!!

Assuming the unit works ok other than the display, you have a problem common to many Sharp models.

Check with www.microwavedisplay.com - lots of info on this issue and they offer a repair service for the boards at a very reasonable price.

SOURCE: Sharp 1870 just quit cooking and no turntable

The fact that the microwave and convection both do not heat indicated that the oven is in demo mode, check the user manual, otherwise it will possibly be a relay not triggering, may need a pcb replacement, check Demo mode 1st....Phil

SOURCE: While using microwave/convection oven in

The aluminium foil has created a short on the magnetron - the device that generates the microwaves . The magnetron failed and in turn has shorted the power source's transformer - the sizzle you hear is the secondary high tension coil burning away when the unit is powered. This of course triggers the fuse every time you try it.
There is nothing more than can be done to save this oven , the damage is too extensive. Just junk it and get a new one.

Used the microwave last night. Later I noticed no light display for the clock. Come to find out microwave lost all power. Model number smh9207st

If there are no fuses or circuit breakers, the unit could be down and out. Check you power box for any tripped breakers.

GE Advantium 120 SCA1000DWW03 blowing 20amp fuse

Our unit was doing the same thing,
took it into the repair shop, they said there was nothing wrong with the unit, replace the main breaker that supplies power to microwave and try again.
Sure enough the breaker became defective, and we never had issues with it before, but now the unit has not had a single problem.

Replaced 20A fuse - now have blinking lights

either the cutoff is open circuit or closed circuit if you get any reading at all it is good. I would look at the control panel look for overheating components. Tap any relays to release them if they arced inside. Whenever a microwave blows a fuse it is time to replace the huge capacitor at the back and possibly the magnetron. I resurrected my Sharp R9H66 Microwave Convection Oven easily. Had to replace the magnetron twice in the last 5 years

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

See these links before proceeding:

Microwave KCMS 135H, makes loud sound followed by blown fuse.

either the high voltage diode,capacitor,or the magnetron tube is dead shorted,remove the leads off the magnetron tube,but check the diode and capacitor with an ohmmeter to check these for a shorted condition before trying a new fuse,if it builds high voltage then its the mag tube

If you don't want to roll the unit out, then turn the circuit breaker off in the panel. The quick disconnect does not reset the electronics for the compressor. Try that and see what happens.

Yesterday, my sharp carousel r-1460 went dead. I took apart the front keypad and replaced the 20amp fuse behind it. the microwave light and fan work.But, when I start microwave to cook something, pop! fuse...

If the 20A fuse is blowing, it is often the high voltage transformer or magnetron. If this is the case, and the microwave is not under warranty, replace it. Residential microwaves are generally considered disposable. Parts and labor are just too expensive. A magntron or transformer can cost more that half the cost of a new microwave.
