The Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool microwaves. It is a crucial safety component designed to protect the microwave from electrical surges and potential short circuits by breaking the circuit if the current flow exceeds safe levels.
Causes of a bad microwave fuse can include electrical surges, faulty wiring, or normal wear and tear over time. A blown fuse will render the microwave inoperable, as it cuts off the power supply to prevent further damage or hazards.
Symptoms of a bad microwave fuse include:
- The microwave not powering on
- The microwave stopping mid-operation
- No response from the control panel or keypad
- Sudden loss of power during use
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
