Customer Questions and Answers for Fuse by Bosch

The Fuse is an OEM replacement part for Bosch microwaves. As an essential part of the electrical system, the fuse protects sensitive components from power surges by blowing out in a controlled way when circuits become overloaded. 

Causes of a blown fuse can include:

• Faults developing in connected wiring or components drawing excessive current
• Power fluctuations from the incoming supply
• Age-related degradation over extended periods of use

Symptoms of a bad fuse include:

• The microwave not powering on
• Certain functions like the magnetron or fan not operating 
• Abnormal noises or smells coming from the unit

Replacing the fuse with a factory-rated replacement is important to safely restore full functionality. This prevents potential electrical hazards and further damage to other parts. 

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore microwaves.
