The problem is likely on the control panel, which we repair nationwide for $39.95 postpaid.

This light failure often occurs when a bulb goes out and the filament shorts, or when the bulbs are removed or installed without first unplugging the oven from the power line. Either can cause such a failure on the controller.

This often can affect the exhaust fan operation, too. The lights and fan can be inopoerable or stuck on.

If you or a friend decide to look into it, we have critical safety information, info on door switch diagnosis and replacement, and

disassembly information at our site, linked here on Fixya: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

Unplug the unit first.

To install the halogen lamp WB08X10050 you will need to take the cover off. You can see a diagram at;

then click on "view full size"

This will give a view of the parts. Only remove the parts needed to get to the bulb.

SOURCE: Microwave has stopped working after being run empty for a short time. Is there a fuse that needs to be replaced or is the microwave dead?

There is a fuse inside the oven. The rating of the fuse may be 8amps. It is not suggested to run the oven without load inside.

From everything I have read it is a 1100w inverter, I am having the same problem.
