I have heard of techs using some kind resetable fuse or something resetable when putting fuses in a microwave. When I put a fuse in a viking microwave and shut the door sometimes they blow because the switches are not contacted at the same time. What would a tech use instead of blowing 3 or 4 fuses for testing a unit.
Thanks John the appliance tech in virginia

Hey John,

I have a resettable push button circuit breaker mounted in a box and connected to a couple leads that end in alligator clips. When I find an open monitor fuse, I will snap on my CB to conduct my test and adjustments, then put in a fuse once I am sure everything is in working order. You can make your own and save some fuses.

Thanks but when you say circuit breaker are you talking a house breaker.
What you have sounds great
John

No it is a panel mount push to reset breaker like this one. Use it with some jumpers or put it in a box, whichever works best for you.

Thanks Brian I went to Radio Shack to find the switch but they didnt have 1, so I got a 20 amp GFI plug and will use that until I get the switch in..
Thanks again
