Hello, I regularly repair Amana commercial microwave ovens.

• What is the FCC ID number from the tag?

• What is the Manufacturing number (like P76695, etc.)?

• Is it making any unusual noises?

• Is it running quieter or louder than usual?

I'd look for a defective relay or shorted triac on the control panel circuit board. Either could cause this problem. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_29ad5d1dd86564b0

If you need to ask this sort of question, then I suggest you should not try to do it yourself. You will need a temperature controlled soldering iron, a way to remove the old solder (solder de-sucker), new solder and the right diode. It is very easy to damage a circuit board doing this so you need the right skills.

Someone can take the cover off the microwave and see if there is a replaceable fuse. Some have them, some do not. If there is none, likely the magnetron has failed, and it is time to replace the machine, as new magentrons often cost more than a new microwave. God bless your efforts. Caution: Stay away from the capacitor. If you don't know what that is, let someone who knows do this.

most shops will charge you 60 to 80 bucks (they get it upfront) just to look at it to see what's wrong , me id do a bit of research to see what a replacement would cost , then using that info make a informed decision on how much to spend on repairing it , you could use the 75/25 plan if it costs more than 75% of new to fix it , then id buy a new one what helps is that its a counter top model , they are easier to replace , as your not tied to a exact size as one would be in a built in model

Take off the cover to expose the fuse holders. one of them is bad.
