I think I blew a fuse our microwave. I was trying to reheat a peeled hardboiled egg for no more than a minute, but it exploded and blew the door open. There are no burn marks on the outlet or the plug, but the buttons do not respond and the display shows nothing.

see this causes and fix it. God bless you If the microwave runs for a few seconds and stops the thermostat might be defective. Watch our video on testing thermostats.
If the microwave runs for a few seconds and stops the thermoprotector
may have tripped. This is a safety device to prevent the microwave from
overheating. It can be tested for continuity to see if it's blown.
If the microwave runs for a few seconds and stops the high voltage
transformer might have an intermittent short. This is not common. Check
other components related to the microwave symptom first.
If the microwave runs for a few seconds and stops the touchpad might be
at fault. This is not common. Generally speaking, if the dishwasher
display is working and some of the buttons respond correctly but some
don't, the problem is with the touchpad.

switch might have failed intermittently. Check each of the door switches
for any signs of overheating, arcing, or burning. Also check each of
them for continuity. Replace any of the switches that is visibly damaged
or that only has continuity intermittently.
Hello Kavithaanto,
If I understand your problem correctly, it sounds as if your microwave was operating and the egg exploded after 5 minutes ( which caused the door to open), after cleaning up the mess, you tried it again and it does not work. If that is true, then there is a high probability that your microwave has a damaged Magnetron Tube, Filament Transformer or High Voltage Capacitor.. none of which are something the untrained person should attempt to repair. Since your microwave is a table top model, I recommend that you consider purchasing a new one. The cost to repair would exceed the cost to replace so it is not worth it. I am sorry that I couldn't provide a more encouraging solution.
Best Regards,
Rick
