Loren A Windsor , WI November 28, 2020 The frigidaire microwave would blow fuses on a regular basis After doing some research the problem appeared to be the door safety switches. I ordered 3 new ones to replace all the original ones. Some minor disassembly of the microwave front was required to reach the fuse and switches. To reach the switches the control panel wires needed to be unplugged and the panel removed. After doing that replacing the switches was pretty strait forward. As of this comment the microwave has worked for 5 days without blowing the fuse so far. This has probably fixed the issue.

Nesbert I Summerville , SC December 23, 2019 Microwave was tripping circuit breaker. I ordered these parts. Found the latch was worn from use of opening and closing the door. Also replaced switches as one would stick sometimes. Put back together works like a charm. Also you don't have to remove microwave from wall to fix and while in there check fuse. Make sure to unplug before working on it. Read More... 7 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
