Microwave Repair

I was heating up food in our microwave. When it was done heating, I opened the door and took out the food. When I closed the door, I saw a brief, white, flash. After that, there was no power to the microwave.

I checked the 20 Amp main line fuse, which was good. Various switches have power, but there is nothing on the main control panel indicating power is getting to the microwave - in other words, the microwave is still completely dead. Does anyone have any ideas as to why the microwave isn't getting any power?

There are also two 4 Amp fuses in the control board power supply lines but they are not shown in the breakdown diagrams.

Check both fuses and door switches.

- The 4 Amp fuse Part number: AP3969244

- The door interlock switch Part number: AP4358023

- The door monitor switch Part number: AP4357880
