Microwave Oven fuse keep blowing.

[@1959Berre]

When testing, never let the microwave run empty. There should always be a glass of water inside to absorb the heat. Letting it run empty causes "bouncing" waves, which can lead to malfunction.

[@mr.fixit3604]

Good point. That's why I only run it for 12 seconds. every time I testing a microwave oven to know if it heating. I does only run it for 12 seconds. I know what will happen if it run for more then 12 seconds. thanks for the heads up.

Hi! Mr. Fix It 360. Just wanted you to know I watch all your videos and it was very helpful to me as a repair man myself. Thanks again for making good videos that help me a lot to do all my repair.

I know this is old but it would be nice to have seen just how you diagnosed that it WAS the capacitor and ruled out other problems like the magnetron itself.

[@mr.fixit3604]

well with 13 years of microwave repair. it become so easy for me to repair microwave with doing so little diagnosed as skills and knowledge develop. most of the time is the capacitor or magnetron go bad.

It's a normal Ceramic Fuse. I can't remember if it's a 15 Amp or 20 Amp fuse. in my 10 years in microwave oven repair I don't think I come across any slow blowing or fast blowing fuse. I don't think microwave oven come with slow or fast blowing fuse.

What are the other reasons for the blowing fuse, can it be the transformer or magentron?

Transformer

[@arbelleisaiahsarangaya2380]

If the fuse from transformer is always blow means transformer have a problem. But he show the fuse from capacitor

It can be the Magnetron or a simple switch on the circuit board. it hardy ever be the transformer.

Good day Sir, can you advise why my microwave oven has fault, the fuse is blowing when door closed and run the power.
