Microwave Has Power But Still Not Working.

If your microwave isn’t working, there are several solutions to fixing the problem. In some instances, it’s as simple as resetting the GFCI fuse.

In other cases, it might be issues with the turntable, a door switch, or blown fuses.

Depending on the problem you see when you push the power button and what the microwave does, will determine the right solution for repairing it.

The Microwave isn’t turning on as usual

If your microwave fails to turn on as usual it might be because the GFCI switch needs to be reset.

First check to make sure the power cord is plugged in, and check to see if the GFCI is tripped.

A final solution will be to check the circuit breaker box to see if it has tripped.

In the event none of these solutions resolve the problem, there might be additional problems which are causing your microwave to stop functioning.

Blown Thermal Fuse

Once you’ve determined that the GFCI outlet isn’t what has caused a lack of power to your microwave, one issue might be a blown fuse in the microwave.

Some things which indicate this is the case include

• The microwave powers on but won’t work
• A thermal fuse stops electric current flows to your microwave as a safety setting. It helps prevent the microwave from overheating. Using a multimeter, you can check to see if the fuse lacks continuity
• If there’s no continuity, it means the fuse needs to be replaced.
