William R Jacksonville , FL February 12, 2019 No power. I checked for the reasons there was no power to the microwave. Then I talked with the technician at AppliancePartsPros who stated that it was most likely a blown or defective fuse. My LG microwave has two thermal fuses, a fuse assembly with two prongs and a short (1 inch) barrel type fuse. I replaced all of them after viewing YouTube videos and then reviewing the diagram for my microwave on the AppliancePartsPrps website. That was very helpful in locating where the fuses were installed. It took me longer than it should have, (I am not very handy at some things), but with the help of the AppliancePartsPros website, the technician and You tube, I was successful.

Roger T Chesapeake , VA March 18, 2016 A $500 microwave/convection out of commission in all modes Opened it up and noticed a burned thermostat due to a poor connection. Checked around for a part - did not have a part number - but when I opened your web site I found a list of parts for my model. After having an online chat with an agent we both seemed to agree that a thermostat that was listed as a substitute was available. I purchased it, replaced the defective component and the unit is back in service. Thanks RT Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
