Joyce P East Brunswick , NJ December 03, 2016 Our over the range microwave stopped working just shut off completely My husband is the hero in this story. At this time in our lives we weren't looking to purchase another microwave. After 10 years at my company, due to a workforce reduction, my position was eliminated. He quickly realized it could be the fuse. We searched the microwave and the part on line and appliance part pros came up with the parts for our microwave. We needed the fuse and the fuse holder. For under $20 we were able to get the microwave working again. Thank you appliance part pros for having the parts (our microwave is 13 years old) and for having a solid search campaign as well as an easy to use site. We used screwdriver, wire cutters to cut the zip ties that were hindering our ability to fix the part.

Gregor U Plano , TX October 26, 2015 Appliance: Model GE SCB2000CWW03 The panel had no power to it and did not light up GE SCB2000CWW03 (13 yrs old). Turned off circuit breaker. Removed trim screws into wood. Had to remove GE Advantium Microwave from above the oven & placed on table in front of oven. Long enough pigtail to not have to undo wiring into wall. Removed the top metal cover of the microwave. The fuse was located on the right side of the oven on the side of a circuit board on a vertical. The fuse had blown and melted the fuse holder as well. Looked at all the circuits boards, etc for cracked parts or seepage from parts to indicate they had been damaged too. None were seen. Ordered the fuse and its holder. I broke one of two clips that hold the fuse holder onto the side of circuit board removing the old fuse holder. Replaced the fuse holder and used some hot glue to secure holder to side of board. Placed the fuse into holder and attached wires to fuse holder. Used compressed air and blew out compartment of dust, etc. Replaced top cover. Turned breaker on. Microwave had power. Test heated cup of water - worked. Replaced microwave back above oven. Attached trim screws back into wood. Wife happy again.
