Kid put mom's curling iron in microwave. Turned it on and now nothing. No lights, nothing. Is there a fuse to check? Maybe it is too far gone? Thanks

1= reset the c.breaker from your home see if are tripped and reset.
2= open for thermal fuse open, test continuity with DVOM OR VOM and replace.
3) test the power cord for open or broken or break.
4= check the switch for door maybe is open must be continuity until 0 , or swtich defective see the diagram attached. God bless you

yup most probably that is the case.

you can locate the fuse usually it is placed near the main power supply or just trace the supply cord going in your unit. but before you open your unit be sure it is unplug to avoid electric shock.

slowly disassemble the unit and be sure that you can replace all the screws back to it original positions. after locating the fuse, check if it has a continuity and be sure to replace the same fuse rating. also investigate why the fuse had blown up and look for abnormalities.

if nothing found then replace the fuse and put all back then test the unit. if still it blows fuse, their must be something wrong with the unit and have it service to qualified personnel.

Hi- The first thing here is safety. If the power supply is good- 120v at outlet- then address the fuse in the cabinet. Open door, remove screw(s) holding control panel, and tilt out panel. Fuse should be visible. Check for continuity. If bad, replace with 15amp appliance fuse. Plug in and check for operation. If fuse blows again, unplug and start looking at a new microwave. Let me know if this info helps. Have more if needed- Thanks- Ed

SOUNDS LIKE MAYBE HIGH VOLTAGE RECTAFIER SHORTED MIC ARE VERY DANGEROUS THEY HOLD VOLTAGE EVEN WHEN UNPLUGED YOU MAY CONSIDER PRO ON THIS SORRY

I think you have a blown fuse. If this link works it will take you to a you tube video.

And buy mom some flowers or some Sherries Berries.
