All microwaves have a main power fuse. You have to remove the outer cover. It will be located near the back by the power cord.

There is a fuse located behind the control panel.

 

If that is good, or replacing it does not fix it, you may have a problem with the control panel, which we repair nationwide for $39.95.

hi

You can remove the grill on top; there should be screws on the top of the microwave and/or within the grill itself. Then remove the control panel, should be one screw on the top of the panel, then lift up on the panel and tilt it out. The fuses should be visible from there. If the fuse is the problem it's easy to change, just remember to unplug the unit first before working on it. And I would suggest getting a single outlet surge protector for the unit; microwaves are very sensitive to power spikes. Please contact me if you need any more help.

Look for a reset button on the back--push to reset. If trips again, unit has probable short.

There should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.

I would suspect the fuse or magnetron thermostat.

    Microwave won't turn on

    Hello, welcome to Fixya!

    The unit not powering on is an indication that it has a power fault.

    First, remove the microwave's power cord from the wall, wait for about 30mins, then plug it back in. It may cool by then and might power on. If it doesn't power on, plug it into another outlet, to make sure there electricity entering into the unit.

    If plugging into another power outlet doesn't power it on then the unit is most likely having a power problem.

    When electric current comes from the power outlet into the microwave, it goes straight into the power supply board which then circulates the current into the unit. So if the microwave doesn't power on, the first thing is to make sure there is power entering into the machine.

    So check the power cord, if it is a 3-pin plug, it must have a fuse in it. check the fuse if it is not blown. if fuse is intact, then power supply board should be checked.

    If any machine or electronics device doesn't power on, it means its having a power problem. It might have worked fine in the past, but that's electronics for you. Power surge, irregular power supply, excess power supply, etc can affect the unit thereby not making it to power on.

    This microwave must have a power supply board in it where power enters from the mains. A capacitor, fuse, diode, etc may have been defective on the power board and maybe that's why its not making the microwave turn on. There might also be some disconnection or something, inside the unit which is not making it to power on.

    To actually find out what's wrong, you need to disassemble the unit with a screw driver and check what's wrong. You will be needing a meter and continuity tester in order to read the components on the power board, once you detect any bad component, you can make necessary replacement at any electronics accessories store within our vicinity.You might also find visible bad component without testing with a meter. This is the only way by which you can detect the problem.

    Of course, testing the power board with a meter will require someone that has the ability. So it you can't, then you might be needing the help of a repairman or you can call a friend that has the ability to help you out.

    I wish you the best of luck.

    Regards.

    I have power to the unit, I checked the fuse - OK - nothing working on unit

    Dead appliance, power on wall outlet.

    YOUR SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT!

    Attempt this only if you are competent.

    If your appliance has absolutely no functions at all, remove it from the mains supply, remove the case and see where the mains lead goes in to the appliance and follow the cable until you find the main fuse.
    ONLY USE THE SAME TYPE AND RATING OF FUSE TO REPLACE IT.
    The usual cause of this fuse failure is the door switches are contaminated or sticking. Check the door switches before putting power back on to the appliance.
    Hope this helps.

    No power

    No power at all? ... gotta ask, assuming it is a counter top model...if you plug something else into the outlet does it work? That way 'we' know there is power getting to the unit. If something else works in the outlet, (assumng a 2 outlet receptical in the wall) plug the microwave into the same outlet as the other item that worked. If still no power, you probably blew the internal fuse in the microwave.

    That said, they are there for a reason, chances are there is another problem in the unit that needs to be fixed. An appliance repair man reently told me they are only expected to live 5 or so years anymore... pitiful....

    GE Spacemaker xl1800 microwave oven randomly turns off

    While you checked the wall receptacle it could be a loose connection in your breaker panel where the breaker snaps into the buss bar. Try the unit in an outlet on a totally different breaker and see if you have the same problem. I also say this a lot, if you have a bad fuse holder in the unit it can make the fuse go bad by betting hot and melting so you could have either a bad or weak fuse holder or bad wire connections to the fuse holder. These companies are using some pretty cheap fuse holders these days!!!
