If your microwave is not turning on it could be due to your fuse needing to be replaced. This part protects the microwave by shutting it off if there is an electrical surge. This fuse is just over an inch long, is metallic on both ends and ceramic in the middle. Before beginning this repair, unplug the appliance and wait a few minutes before starting. Remove the outer cabinet which is held in place with two screws. You will then locate the power cord which will lead you to the fuse holder. Determine if the fuse has blown. Using an ohmmeter, you should be able to figure out if it has blown. A proper reading is zero ohms, if it reads as anything else then your fuse has in fact blown. Simply snap the old fuse out of place and place the new one in.

This simple fix saved me hundreds.
Microwave door issue shorted the fuse. After taking the microwave down from above the stove, opening the panel that allows access to the fuse to ensure that it was indeed the issue, I had no microwave for 3 days between ordering and installing the new fuse. I ordered two, just in case. So, for less than $30, I have a fully functioning microwave again and the family is thrilled! Not sure what house call would have cost but I am sure it would have been at least $100 to come in, take apart and trouble shoot the unit.

Worked Perfectly
A bit pricey, you can buy a two pack of these from a hardware store for 5 dollars less. But, overall happy with purchase.

Microwave had no electrical
I was sent the wrong fuse by you. I had to procure a fuse in another manner. Very disappointing. The repair was simple. It just took longer because of the failure to send the correct fuse.

Microwave wouldn't turn on and found breaker been tripped and then microwave wouldn't turn on at all.
Read some instructions and easily found the fuse. Replaced it. Still didn't work. Took control panel off to check door switches. Nothing I read mentioned a second fuse. Tested and it to had blown. Ordered another one. Popped them in. Done.

machine was dead.
After removing the over-the-range unit (no small feat!) I had to figure out how to open the case (good puzzle!). Capacitor had already discharged, so it was very easy to reach in, pop the old fuse and install the new one! As per your advice, I found out I was a "28%-er"! Upon re-installation, the microwave "sprang to life"!! Thanks, "P

How many fuses are there? I changed one by switches, still no power.
For model number Kmhc319ess2
Hello William, Thank you for writing. Researching this model is shows one fuse. We suggest checking the outlet and the power cord. If they are good, you may have a faulty Control Board. Thank you for the inquiry, good luck with the repair!
