Not sure what has happened to our microwave so I'm bringingit to the pro's. On our last trip out we were cooking some potatoes in the micro when it just stopped. Clock - everything went out as if the microwave was unplugged. The first thing I checked was the breaker - all good. So today I was able to pull it out. It was still plugged in to the outlet. I plugged it into another outlet but nothing happened. Is there a fuse on the inside of the microwave that I could check - trying to avoid having to get another. It is a HighPointe model # EM925RSL Thanks for any help.

did you make sure the gfci was not tripped?

Forgive me but I'm not sure what gfci is. I checked the main breaker and the breaker that was for the microwave and all was good. Again I took the microwave out and plugged into another outlet but nothing happened. Also plugged in here at the house - still nothing.

Yes they have an internal fuse on control board for power supply.Unfortunately you have to disassemble to access.Then if blown you have to ask yourself WHY :HIf you access it and replace fuse...plug in and test run before reinstalling.If fuse blows again......get a new replacement.Just measure current one......go to Walmart/Costco/SAMs etc and buy newNew High Pointe.......LINK

gfci = Ground Fault Circuit InterrupterIt monitors the amount of current flowing from hot to neutral. If there is any imbalance, it trips the circuit. It is able to sense a mismatch as small as 4 or 5 milliamps, and it can react as quickly as one-thirtieth of a second.Your house kitchen and bathroom have them. It looks pretty much like a normal outlet with a TEST button.Here is one Double Click MeLeRoy

Microwaves are expendable. Recycle it and spend the $ for another one. Not worth the time or energy to fix them IMHO.

Plug something into the microwave outlet to be sure you were getting power to the microwave to begin with. If yes I would buy a new one. Not worth time effort and money for the average person to repair
