• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Location varies by model; typically mounted on the oven cabinet near the control area or cooling system
• Replace like-for-like; do not bypass. Transfer existing connectors and secure in the original position
• Check cooling fan operation, airflow/vents, and wiring to correct the cause of overheating

• Cut-off temperature: 105°C (221°F)
• Non-resettable (one-time) fuse

Color: brown. Its total length is about 25 inches.

This line fuse protects the appliance's incoming power circuit by opening if an overload or short occurs. Replacing a blown fuse can help restore power once the underlying issue is corrected, preventing further damage to sensitive components.

• Interrupts line voltage when excessive current or a short circuit is detected
• Typical symptoms: unit completely dead, no display or interior lights, won't start or run
• Fuse tests open/no continuity with a multimeter when blown
• A blown fuse often points to another fault that must be addressed

• Disconnect power at the breaker/unplug before servicing; microwaves contain high-voltage parts that can retain a dangerous charge even when unplugged
• Replace only with the same type and rating as the original fuse
• Ensure the fuse seats firmly in its holders; do not bypass or jumper a fuse

This fan motor powers the cooling fan that moves air through your unit. Replacing a worn or noisy motor restores proper airflow to help maintain stable temperatures and reliable performance. What it does:
