I removed the Grill and opened up the control panel and still did not see the fuse.
On this model, the 20A line fuse is located on the small noise filter circuit board. The filter may not be visible when the grille is removed (see removal video here: http://www.microwavecontrol.com)
If the filter is not visible with the grille off, you will need to remove the oven from the wall and remove the outer cover.
If your microwave is "dead" (no display, no beeps when you press the keys, no inside light when the door is open) then you should first check the outlet under load," and the best way to do that is with a toaster or hair dryer.
If the outlet is good, then it may be a fuse, the magnetron temperature fuse, the oven thermal cutout, the control board, or a bad connection somewhere involving the above parts.

This is usually do to a bad Inside the machine is a fuse that is expressly for the magnetron tube. You may or may not have special screws that hold the cover on, but usually they are the tamper - proof kind, you Can buy the tool that removes them. The fuse will be a small (1/4"x1 1/4") AGC type and will be white ceramic with a metal cap at each end, this too, you can buy. After replacing the fuse, make sure that you put the cover back on before testing the ' nuke '. The special tool ( if you have to buy one) and the fuse will cost far less to purchase than a new unit. If the unit still doesn't heat, then the problem will most definitely be in the mag circuit. To replace the entire unit would be my best advice, to repair it costs more than just money, you also have to hassle with the repair people and lose out on time not having your 'nuke'.

Bad door switches normally don't cause fuses to fail. Typically there's 2 of them wired in series with each other so if one of those switches fail to turn off power the other one will when the door is opened.
There are a number of components that can cause a fuse to open; HV diodes, capacitors and fans, to name the most common culprits, and require the knowledge and safe use of a volt-ohm meter to efficiently find the problem.
Fuse, if one, is located very close to where the electricity wire enters into the unit.
Hey friend, thanks for your post!
I understand you want to replace the fuse in your Frigidaire microwave. These intricate parts do require precision and patience, therefore when replacing the exchange of electrical components or removing them from your appliance, I always suggest seeking professional assistance. One must be very careful as these replacements can lead to potential harm. -Matt
