Bill C. June 29, 2018 for Model Number M40-3 Magic Chef Is there a big difference between an auto fuse and the fuse in the microwave. Would they be interchangeable? The use in the micro is 15A. Would a 20A auto fuse suffice? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Bill, I'm sorry but an automotive fuse will not take the place of the ceramic fuse in the microwave. We will need to ask you to please post a new question including the model number from your units' I.D. tag so we can recommend parts that can be guaranteed to work properly on your unit. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Baker March 21, 2018 The microwave just went out had just used it and a few minutes later noticed the clock went off no sounds or anything. Tried unplugging it and plugging it back in but that didn't work. What other options would i have. It's the stainless steel one 1.3. Cu
1 Answer Baker, You will want to check the buss fuse that is in the microwave and all the thermal fuses to make sure that they have continuity. This would be the most likely cause for this issue. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Bob. It sounds like the fuse may have blown in the unit. If so, check the door switches as well. Read More...
Karen Witkowski April 18, 2016 for Model Number MCO2212ARB When we set the timer on the microwave it starts for a few seconds and then shuts off and pops the circuit in our RV, what part would I need to order?
1 Answer Karen, It appears that you are getting a high wattage draw when the heating comes on and the most likely cause for this would be either a bad transformer or a bad magnetron. Read More...
Carrie June 26, 2015 for Model Number MCO2212ARB When we open the door the indoor light comes on. However, the touchpad doesn't work at all. Is this just the fuse or the entire control panel?
1 Answer Carrie, With the touchpad not working this issue would most likely be caused by a faulty control board. Read More...
Jacqueline L September 23, 2013 for Model Number Magic Chef MC0153UW When the door is open on this microwave the inside light comes on. When I shut the door and set the timer, the light goes out, the turntable will not turn, and if set for more than two minutes the whole thing just shuts down. However it is heating in short spurts. Is this a fuse?
1 Answer Jacqueline, This issue sounds like it would caused by a faulty control board. The control board part number for the unit is PKMPMSAE00. Read More...
Denny C. February 07, 2012 for Model Number MCO2122ARW Stove top cook lights will not work. Have replaced both bulbs. In diagram it shows a fuse. Is this fuse an inline fuse for the stove top cook lights ?
1 Answer Hi Denny. The in-line fuse part # 5F1CD2031S is for the whole unit control board. The control board part # is 3514321600. The power for the lights come from there. If the keypad is not sending the command from the ribbon cable part # 3516722200W then this will not send the command. Use your supplied wiring diagram under the inside of the control board to help. Thank You. Read More...
Denny February 03, 2012 for Model Number MCO2212ARW Magic Chef Microwave oven cooktop ligths will not work. Have replaced both bulbs with no luck. In your diagram it show a fuse AP4565040. Is this fuse linked to the cooktop lights?
1 Answer Denny, If the cooktop lights are the only issue, it would not be the fuse, as an issue. At this point the wiring diagram for your unit is not available to us. In general, you most likely have an issue with the keypad assembly 3518521900W or the PCB assembly 3514321600 not supplying the power to the bulbs. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
