I have a manning bowman coffee percolator and the fuse is blown. Where can I get replacement fuses?

Check the fuse if it blown replace with new one

hi,

Did you try replacin the fuse.It might have blown.

The most likely cause is that the fuse for the magnetron/klystron has blown. It is usually somewhere under the cover, if you are not skilled in electrics then I suggest you take it to a repair man the fuse is cheap just a few cents but the repair man will want a bit more!

HELLO.

the problem your are experiencing with your microwave oven is a failed interlock switch.
Be careful when closing your microwave door. Slamming the door too hard is one of the main reasons that the interlock switch is damaged.

Slamming the microwave door shut can easily blow the microwave fuse, but they can also blow due to problems with the interlock switches.
A microwave oven will not function until the fuse is replaced.

Instruction on how to replace fuse on microwave.

1. Unplug the microwave from the electrical outlet to prevent electrocution. Place the microwave in a well-lit area to be able to locate the fuse.

2. Use a screwdriver to remove the outer cabinet of the microwave, and follow the power cord to the fuse. The fuse is located 2 to 3 inches within the microwave and is attached to the power board.

3. Observe the fuse to determine if it is blown. Blown glass fuses will produce burn marks on nearby surfaces, or the internal fuse wire will be black and melted, while ceramic fuses show no outward appearance of being blown.

4. Determine if a ceramic fuse is blown by testing it with an ohmmeter. If the ohmmeter reads zero ohms, your fuse is not blown. Other readings on the ohmmeter show that your fuse is blown.

5. Replace the blown fuse by popping it out of its holder, and snapping a new fuse in its place. Tighten the fuse clips by squeezing them together with your fingers.

6. Replace the outer cabinet of the microwave, and plug the microwave back into the electrical outlet. Test the microwave to see if it's working properly.

thanks.

Maybe it's the fuse. See my answer to a similar problem here:

Hi,
Use approx. 1/2 cup of coffee to 10 cups of coffee....so for a full pot use 1-1/2 cups... then adjust to taste..

Hi,
If you have shorted out the internals, then it can be good or bad. Disconnected the oven before doing anything. Be very careful when working on mains powered appliances like this. never operate with the covers removed. If you are unsure, then you should seek the advice of a professional to look at it for you. Remove the screw if you have not done so already, see if it works. If not, then inspecting the internal fuse would be the next thing to do. Remove the covers, and check for a blown fuse, replace only with the correct type of fuse designated for the oven. You can get one from most any appliance repair places. If the fuse is blown, and replacing the fuse does not return the oven to operation, then you have damaged other areas of the oven. It may not be economic to repair. Man Made faults are often the worst to fix, as anything, and everything may be damaged. Good luck. Please take a moment to rate my solution given to you here. Cheers

need fuse for manning bowman percolator

Blown fuse , take the outer cover off and change the fuse. Iff you don't have a fuse use a piece of tin foil until you find a replacement fuse.
Hopefully this helps you out.

Greetings,

I have an "Atomic" globe type art deco Manning Bowman percolator from 1947. It does not have a thermostat, just a fuse.

If your pot is blowing the fuse, are you using one with the correct amperage for the pot? This pot pulls 350 watts which works out to 3.18 amps. watts/volts=amps. You'd need a fuse that would allow the heating element to generate a minimum of 350 watts before blowung.
