My microwave is dead in the water, made popcorn last night, shut it off after popcorn was done, and woke up this morning to a dead microwave.
Have checked voltage to the upper microswitch in door, also to main power board at the top next to magnetron (also checked the fuse...20A/220v ceramic)... all good... have not totally taken it off the wall yet... any clues would be appreciated :D

Need a correct model number for this. Check the cavity thermal fuse on the top of the unit and see if it is blown. If so with a correct model I can give you the part number for it. Thanks.

You will need to remove the outer cover to get to the fuse.

I took the cover off and started to check things out, I found that the Thermal Cutout attached to the magnetron, was supposed to be normally closed and it was open... So, I need to get that part, as when I bypassed it, everything worked... it's funny how just making a bag of popcorn could've blown that thermal cutout... but I have it bypassed for now till I get the part then will pull all apart again to replace it... the number on the cutout is an NT-101...will have to look it up.
Thanks again for all your help... you guys are great!!

Peter

I would not advise running it bypassed. Here is the part number for what you need. Glad we could help!
Part number: AP4564949
