Hello,

I was using my microwave (Magic Chef MCO160UW) this morning and opened the door when the time reached zero. As soon as I opened the door, the power in half of my condo went out. I reset all of the breakers in the fuse box and all of the power returned but my microwave remained dead.

I removed the internal microwave fuse, measured the continuity, and it is open. Will the microwave work if I simply replace the fuse or is there another issue (faulty door switch?) that caused the fuse to blow? Did this cause the power in my condo to go out?

Should I try to repair the microwave or purchase a new one?

Thanks!

Unless you have electronic experience I would just replace it.

There are lethal voltages inside a microwave so you have to know what you are doing.
