Nice video but manufacturer should be ashamed they made it this damn tough to replace a fuse!!

Why remove all that stuff? Watch the magnetron replacement video - take it out and the thermal fuse is on it. Much easier than disconnecting all the blower stuff! By the way, how about testing the fuse before you assume that is the issue? Just sayin'

Nice video, some things can really be a pain in the backside to test / replace.

ge microwave jvm3160rf2ss stopped working altogether. How do I know if it’s the fuse in this video or the ones that look similar behind control panel

Hello we have an LG Microwave. Our microwave turns on when we press start to heat something example if we click one minute then in a few seconds the light turns off and not heating but timer on display is still going any suggestion? Can it be the the Magnetron Thermal Fuse?

My microwave aint heating i changed all the door switches an the little black diode connecting to the capacitor an to a ground i dont know if its the magnetron r the transformer any ideas

thanks for this video its helps.

What is the symptom when the thermal fuse is failing ? I have a microwave heating up food at 50% speed as usual. Is the problem on the Magnetron or the fuse ? or maybe the capacitor ?

congtusacto Disconnect the power cord and remove the top grille and control panel and you should be able to gain access to the fuse. That is a good place to start. www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/Microwave-Repair-Help?TLSID=1773

my microwave only runs 3 seconds then turns off, any hints on whats wrong?

No post R&R, uninstalled test? Just going to trust in the Force?

i have a ge that would start then stop and display PF. i tried unplugging and plugging it back up and now it wouldn't turn on unless i hit the side of it.

where is the fuse on the model number JES1142WD03

So how do I know if its the thermal sensor gone bad? Mine keeps popping fuses. When I place amuse the light fan clock all works. Heat water fuse pops. It may have been used to cook a potato and overheated

If the thermal fuse is bad it will not normally blow the fuse when the magnetron comes on. If the magnetron itself is shorted or the high voltage capacitor is shorted, it can blow a fuse when heating. These things can be checked with a meter but we recommend you have a qualified service person look at them for safety reasons.

I have about 4-5 thermals

+surapong sivi There is likely a separate fuse for the control panel, my GE had one. It was located right above the control panel under the cover. $1.50 from RadioShack.

GE designers solder in the green wire. Now I have to buy a soldering iron to remove it! I will try my big propane torch first!

It's funny at this day and age you're still using regular screwdriver instead of a power pocket drill that speeds up the assembly/disassembly time by three times.
