If your sure that power is still present, check the fuse inside the unit.

No power indicators at all

Yes, Most Microwaves have ceramic fuses inside of them. Since yours has no power I think it justn needs a new fuse. If on the other hand you have a mcrowave which lights and turns but does not heat then the unit is worhtless as the microwave generator unit is gone.

The microwave oven has completely gone dead Sharp r-1501c. Yesterday the light was on. I went to turn the light off and to put something in the microwave and it lost all power. I've checked the outlet...

It may be the control panel. What ever you do, don't send the control panel to William Miller. He ripped me off, and I have to dispose of my microwave because he never returned my control panel.
If yours has gone dead completely, it's more cost effective just to replace it. I bought an LG to replace mine.

Maytag MMV4205BAS stopped dead in the middle of a heating cycle. Unplugged and plugged back in. Oven is on the same fuse and it's fine. Any ideas?

There are several possible causes for a dead oven. Since yours quit in the middle of heating, I'd say it's most likely failure of the magnetron tube which supplies the microwaves. There's a safety thermostat on the tube which opens up and shuts off power if the tube overheats. Overheating is one sign of a tube that's gone bad.

There's really nothing user-serviceable in a microwave oven. Because of hazardous voltages inside and the possibility of microwave leakage, service should be left to professionals. Take the oven to a service shop for an estimate.

Stopped working during microwave function

First unplug the unit.
The problem is most likely caused by the thermistor (thermal resistor) failing. This device is located at the outlet vent and will cut power if the unit over heat or catch fire. All microwaves have it. You can test it with an ohm meter. You can get a new one from an electronics store like Radio Shack.
You will have to remove the cover to get to it.
This unit may also have a fuse inside, I do not know if this is the one you changed, but you can look at it. You didn't give a model number so I could not point you to a diagram.

I have power to the plug, but nothing to the unit when it is plug

First unplug the unit.
This can be caused by one of two possible conditions.
You may have blown a fuse inside the unit or the thermistor may have blown. You can check them with a simple ohm meter. You will have to take the covers off to access the parts. The thermistor is located at the air outlet. This thermal resistor (thermistor) is designed to open if heated too hot and shut power to prevent fires. You can see a diagrams at;

It's usually the thermistor.
The parts can be purchase at electronics stores like Radio Shack.

Danby 1000 Watt Microwave is completely dead. Just stopped working right after heating up a dinner.

you may have just blown a fuse inside the microwave or the transformer inside has now failed and will need replacing but it will need to be looked at to see what exactly happened

No power - Nothing happens

if you have power at the outlet and the internal fuse is okay, I would say you have a problem on the control board. We repair these nationwide for $32.50. Please see my profile for the Web address: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk

You already know it can be a costly mistake. Had it happen in my own home!!!!

Several things can be wrong:

1. The Fuse inside the unit
2. The High Voltage Capacitor
3. The Power Diode
4. (bad news) The Magnetron.

There is an RF window that can be bad also as when a microwave is run with no load it can be burned. It is supposed to help protect the Magnetron from reverse flow RF and help disperse the RF inside the unit.

The next question is: "Are you going to talke this by yourself or have it repaired?" We can you advise on what to do but there are some hazards that you need to be aware of if your going top give it a go..... Just reply here. Thanks.

It has completely gone dead, there is power coming to the unit. I believe I accidently turned the unit on to heat yesterday with nothing inside instead of turning on the timer thereby allowing the unit to run with nothing inside and getting very hot !!!! Again, nothing is working now
