    Powerless microwave
    My microwave stopped working yesterday and has no power. I've changed the power fuse, which brings the power back to the unit, but as soon as I try to start the microwave again, the fuse blows. I have a Sharp Carousel R-1490. Any suggestions as to what might be blowing the fuse?

    Unplug the microwave and replace the fuse. Plug something else in the outlet, if it works your microwave is shot. Could be a short in the microwave but it could also be many other things. I do not recommend that a home owner try to repair a microwave.
