This microwave has three door interlock switches and a fuse that are easily replaced by the consumer. Unplug the microwave. Remove the cover by unscrewing the 5 screws on the cover. Four are on the back, one on the lower right. One or more of the screws may be torx T15S (security)(bit available at hardware stores). As in all microwaves the capacitor should be discharged by shorting the cap terminals together. Note that the three switches are in a single black plastic carrier. Remove the two screws securing the carrier and the switches can be released by hand. Replace one at a time so as not to confuse the wiring which is push on spade terminals. Replace the fuse with a 20 amp 125v slow blow (radio shack). Do not plug in power until all the switches are reinstalled as a safety feature will cause the fuse to blow again. If fuse blows repeatedly it is most likely that all three interlock switches are not closing properly. Check to make sure that all switches are seated correctly in the black plastic switch carrier and that the 2 carrier screws are tight. Observe the switches as the door is closed. Replace switches and/or carrier as needed. While the cover is off you may want to clean off the fan and/or replace the bulb. Also check for proper seating of the control board connections.

The fan on my emerson microwave model#mwg9115sl stopped working and now it shuts off by itself is there a way to fix it or someone who i can take it to?

The fan primary function is to keep the magnetron cool while it runs, if the fan stops the thermal fuse senses an increase in temparture causing the oven to shut down. I suggest a tv technician or appliance repair man because there is dangerous high voltage present that can cause serious injury or death.

Microwave Quit Heating

The Magnotron goes out on many of the lower priced models in the first yr.,(and some of the higher end ones too!) As the components there do most of the hard work. Better to just find a recycler who takes them and scrap it.
As for the replacement that sounds like an excellent idea!

It just stopped working. It's plugged in and the fuse is not blown. Is it broken for good? We haven't had more than 6 months.

Emerson MW8777W

If it stopped working while it was running it is almost certainly the thermal fuse. To see the location go to;
http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=261105
and click on Cabinet and stirrer in the left-hand side.
This fuse protects the unit from overheating and fires. If the machine is under warranty you can get them to fix it. If not, you can remove the therm fuse and take it to Radio Shack® and get a replacement.

Microwave exploded.

Did it make a popping noise, like a .22 cal pistol? Probably one of the larger capacitors on the power supply blew up.
