My Hamilton Beach 900 watt microwave completely stopped in the middle of heating something up and went dead. It's like it blew a fuse or something. What do I need to do?

SOURCE: I have a Hamilton Beach

maby it's the magnetron, i need more information, a good way to test the magnetron is to put a small HE-NE lamp in a glass filled with water (HE-NE lamps) are found in any radioshack (La source) store, if the lamp glowes orange it meens the magnetron is good, if it is not glowing then the magnetron is dead, (the magnetron is allmost the price of the oven) it could be a fuse but if you have to change the fuse replace it with the same type (normaly ceramic german type) NOT GLASS

Good luck!

SOURCE: I have a Hamilton Beach

Assuming its the same as my Hamilton Beach, you first enter the cooking time, but don't press start yet, instead press power, then a number button 1 - 9 for the power level 1 for 10%, 2 for 20% etc. THEN press start as normal

SOURCE: Hamilton Beach hb-p90d23al-dj keeps blowing fuses

If the microwave oven is less than 7 years old the problem is in the magnetron, " the most expensive part " or the inverter board, either way costly adventure, good for target practice.

Testimonial: "Not an expensive oven, good advice that the fix is not worth it. I'll just get another oven."

SOURCE: Hamilton beach 1000 watts 2011 model e193295 microwave not heating food. It just stopped heating the food. Can I fix it? Is it worth it? Should I just buy a new one or can I fix it for cheap

There is countless things that could be wrong with it. Microwaves are very complex devices. Have you dropped it or was the door slammed hard? There are three sensors on the door and if one of them isn\'t working properly then the microwave will not heat. Other things that it could be are the high voltage capacitor might be defective. The magnetron tube may have blown out. The thermal fuse could\'ve blown out. The main control board may be defective, the possibility a go on and on. You can look up the ways to tell what it could be but if you ask me it would way simpler just up buy another one but there is always a way to fix anything.

My microwave went dead while heating up something what could it be

It probably blew the main fuse. Since it blew when it was running, it might indicate that the fuse holder isn't holding the fuse tightly enough; causing it to heat and internally melt.

You also could have some sort of failure, or failing component, in the high voltage circuit.

Hamilton beach microwave stopped working suddenly. attempted to heat a breakfast sandwich...and it stopped working after heating a food item moments before. I purchased the microwave within the previous...

Typically, you have the first 30 days to exchange a new purchase. I would pursue that avenue. If you bought it online, it's probably freight related. Try to file a claim..

How do i replace a fuse on sunbeam microwave

If it does not heat, the magnetron tube died. Not worth repairing unless under warranty. Generally the only fuse is a main fuse. If it blew, the entire microwave would be dead.
