Eric for Model Number ZSC1001KSS The whole microwave shut off in mid-cooking session. I smelled a bit of smoke. Now it's just completely dead. Could it be that replacing the fuse (WB27X10388) would solve the problem? Are there more than one fuses in the 27" Monogram Advantium model?
Answer Hello Eric. There is just 1 fuse. You need to test the fuse. If bad, it could be the high voltage components blowing the fuse. You most likely have a "high voltage" side malfunction. Transformer, diode, magnetron, Capacitor. You will need to be extremely careful if you decide to test the components with a multi meter, Very high residual voltage is present, so make sure you remove power to the microwave and short across the terminals on the capacitor. The magnetron should have a reading of less than 1 ohm resistance across the two terminals, and an "open" circuit between each terminal and chassis ground. The diode/rectifier should have a resistance reading in one direction only, no resistance, or resistance in both directions indicate a faulty diode. The primary winding on the trans former should read approximately 450 Ohms resistance, the secondary winding should read 80 ohms resistance, and the filament transformer should read 100 ohms resistance. If all the readings are proper and in range, replace the magnetron. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, August 22, 2014
