Our Maytag microwave died. The outlet has power.

There is a problem inside the microwave oven.
This could be thermal in nature - in which cae the oven will operate again after a cooling period (which might be as long as fifteen minutes), or there could be a problem which caused a protective fuse to rupture.

I do not advise opening these appliances unless one is fully aware of the associated risks.

Microwave Oven Basic Troubleshooting Tips

Replacr the internal fuse you will find when you remove the cabinet. It will be near where the cord enters the cabinet. It is a special fuse ... get a replacement at most hardware of appliance parts stores.

My advantium 120 died and it has power to the oven but it does not work! does the oven have a fuse that i can change?

There is always a fuse inside a microwave.Sometime this has only blown due to a surge,and upon replacing, the microwave will continue working.If it is something worse the fuse will continue to blow.In this case it could very well be the transformer,but there are other possible causes as well.(for example the control board or a short.)

Take it back to the store and make them do something about them. If they dont then file a complaint with the BBB no reason for you to have to deal with this when it is there problem. It sounds like there is a venting issue and more going on

you may have some arching inside where your magnatron is located.If you open the door on the right middle part there is a silverplate on the wall .If it is burned you may need to replace magnatron.if you do not seee burn marks it may still be the magnatron hope.that would be the only possible thing that would make the noise other then the mtor plate out of place.

yes most microwaves today have a fuse in them it looks like the old glass fuse but not made of glass, instead they are of a gray look and ceramic. If I remember well Radio shack sells them

CHECK MAGNETRON RELATED CIRCUIT, HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT, CONTROL CIRCUIT,AFTER CHECK MAINS FUSE.
