If you’re adventurous enough to open up your microwave oven and replace a blown fuse, you could be in for a bigger challenge. If all goes well, it will run fine with the new fuse. You can congratulate yourself on a job well done.
Sometimes, though, the new fuse will blow when you try to cook anything. It might happen when you open the door, or when you start heating. When you replace that fuse, it will probably just happen again. Or perhaps it will run for a few days or weeks, then blow another fuse. There are several possible reasons.
Danger, danger!
We recommend that you do NOT work on the inner components of a microwave. Some components have as much as 2,000 volts powering their operation and can lead to serious harm, even death. You should call a local appliance repair company that has experience working on microwaves.

Here are some possible causes of repeated blown fuses, from the easiest to fix at home to the hardest.
