Why would the Amana AXP22 be kicking fuse?

I am working on an Amana AXP22. It failed I replaced the F1 fuse, the relay monitor board, Power relay & power supply board. It worked for almost a week then stopped the fuse went out again. I replaced fuse with a time delay fuse. The oven worked fine for about 2 hours then the fuse blew again. I replaced the fuse again but this time it blew instantly. The outside of the side panel was very warm.

SOURCE: stopped work when open microwave door no power now

I finally was able to fix similar problem. The "primary" door switch (top switch) had a burned contact inside the switch body, as well as burned surrounding plastic. It would no longer "click" and tended to stay in "closed" position. [The switch is a "normally open" design (NO).] When this occurs and the door is opened, the "monitor" switch causes the fuse to blow out. GE wants $50 for this part. However, I was able to find a universal design of microswitch at Fry's Electronics. It had the same rating (15 amp at 250 volts), same body size, both NO and NC terminals, but with a lever arm which I had to remove by opening the case. Cost was $2.47 + tax. (PRICELESS!). So far so good. I also had to buy a set of Torx driver bits for tamperproof screws to be able to remove the oven cover. (The hole in the end of the bit goes over the tamperproof pin of the screw).
I also viewed a YouTube video which was helpful at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsWTCnACqdY

SOURCE: Amana MVH210W keeps blowing fuse

The magnetron is more than likely the problem, or the inverter board if oven is 7 years old or less. If you have a digital meter you can do a rough test on the magnetron, unplug microwave, set meter to ohms, disconnect one wire from magnetron and put the test leads across too points, if reading is .2ohms or less it is good, but if the test shows infinity or open the magnetron is bad, keep in mind it may have a short making the reading misleading.

Why is it that the microwave i am using when plugs in, it start automatically even no food in there and no function had been pressed.,it's like when you plug in it starts immediately.

If it stops when you open the door, then you probably have a bad power relay or control board. If one of the primary or secondary switches is stuck in a closed position, then the short/monitor switch should cause the fuse to blow.

Microwave oven no power

The main fuse is probably blown.

When replacing, try to determine the cause.

if it has a bad door switch, then the monitor/short switch also must be replaced. On an inverter, replace the power relay as well.

If the fuse holder is not holding the fuse securely, then it will heat and blow.

A failing component in the high voltage circuit can also cause the problem.

It shows se and will not work

You have blown a fuse. Check inside the oven chamber and look for missing powder paint or signs of arcing, if so there is a paint to repair microwaves for this issue or else just dispose of the microwave. If the inside is good remove all the screws and remove the cover. Replace the fuse. If the magnetron was making louder noises prior then replace the magnetron. Since the fuse went the giant capacitor is likely bad. While the cabinet is open make sure to look for burned wires, check the continuity of thermal cutoffs, and check the main circuit-board for burned traces or components. The relays in most electronics are known for arcing (spot welding) and staying in the wrong position. Tap them hard with the back end of a screwdriver. During all of this use safe electrical practices by having the power cord unplugged. The capacitor could still have a high charge on it so be careful.

Looks like no power , but as power at the plug

Could be just a fuse, but many other possibilities. Do a google search for a manual (just search by model number). Repair parts and some troubleshooting help at: http://www.repairclinic.com/

My amana model number amv1150vas is not working after a power outage

Unplug for 60 seconds to see if it will reset, if no! the fuse in the microwave has opened/ or if the model is the new type, it is the keypad control board or smart board.

WHEN PLUGGED IN THERE IS NO POWER, TOOK IT APART AND REPLACED THE 30 AMP FUSE BUT NO FIX, THE OUTLET IS LIVE

Assuming you have a voltmeter (or multimeter) at your disposal, you will have to trace the power from the plug to the timer / control board. If the thermal cutout has activated/failed, you will also get a 'dead' appliance. It's mounted directly on the magnetron.

Controlpanel flashes f 3

You have a faulty keypad. You could probably special order this part from a local appliance parts supply store for 50-60$ or purchase a new microwave.

66993 pizza oven microwave oven combo pizza oven not heating error code f1 microwave part works

Hello, please use the chart to determine which stove you have. You will have to look at the model number. The first 3 numbers will be the series on the chart. In most cases an F1 error would require replacement of the electronic control. This part is commonly refered to as an EOC or ERC. However this type of repair is usually reserved for repair specialists.

KENMORE Range/Stove/Oven Fault Codes – 362 Series (General Electric)
F1 = Stuck Touch Pad Key - Replace Electronic Range Control (ERC).

KENMORE - 911 Series (General Electric/Roper)
F0-F1-FF = Failed transistor in Electronic Range Control (ERC).

KENMORE Range/Stove/Oven Fault Codes- 665 Series (Whirlpool)
F1-E0 EPROM Error - Electronic Range Control (ERC).
F1-E1 EPROM Error - Electronic Range Control (ERC).
F1-E2 U/L ERC Errors - Electronic Range Control (ERC).
F1-E3 Fuel Type Fail

Kill power 30 seconds-Cancel-Start/Enter-5 seconds-Should see “E” for electric-
“9” for gas-If code changes again-replace Electronic Range Control (ERC).

KENMORE - 790 Series Electronic Oven Control (Frigidaire)
F1 = Shorted Touch Pad = Electronic Range Control (EOC) Internal check sum error.
Runaway Temp = Replace Electronic Oven Control (EOC).

Kill power 30 seconds - if error returns - replace Electronic Oven Control (EOC).

Microwave cooked dinner and now does work

I had the same exact problem -- turned out the cooling fan for the magnetotron wasn't coming on because of a bad relay on the main control board. When the magnetotron overheated a safety kicked on which tripped an internal relay and killed power to the unit. GE repair guy diagnosed and resolved the problem. Only snag was that they didn't have a spare board so I had to wait a few days for them to deliver a replacement and for the guy to come back and install it. Now has been working for 5 days... of course I probably jinxed myself now! :)
