Lg Microwave LMH2016ST Won't start or doesn't start

The Time Delay Fuse is an OEM part for LG microwaves. This fuse provides a safety mechanism by delaying the flow of electricity, protecting the microwave's electrical components from power surges and ensuring the appliance operates safely. It helps to prevent immediate damage in the event of a power surge or electrical fault, thus prolonging the lifespan of the microwave.

Over time, the time delay fuse can become damaged due to electrical surges, wear and tear, or faulty connections. If the fuse blows, it can disrupt the microwave’s ability to function correctly.

Symptoms of a bad time delay fuse include:

• The microwave not turning on
• No response from the microwave control panel
• The microwave stopping unexpectedly during operation
• Electrical issues or blown circuits in the microwave

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

This time delay fuse protects the appliance from overheating by opening the circuit when temperatures exceed safe limits. It's a direct-replacement electrical safety fuse used in heating circuits to help prevent damage and fire risk. What it does:

• Opens the circuit when the detected temperature rises above safe operating limits to stop the heating element
• Helps prevent overheating-related damage to internal components and wiring
• Can cause intermittent or no heating when failed
• Commonly associated with symptoms such as no heat, reduced or inconsistent heating, or a unit that stops running during heating cycles

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or replacing the fuse to avoid electrical shock
• Locate the fuse according to your appliance's service manual or diagram and replace with the exact part number
• If the fuse is blown, inspect heating element, thermostat/thermal cutouts, and venting for underlying faults before reinstalling
