FIXED Sharp Microwave Stopped Working and Now Has No Power

My Sharp microwave (Model R-4H84) stopped working and now has no power.

The oven had been working fine until this point.

I entered the cooking time, pressed "Start" and it just died. No display - no power.

The house circuit breakers are okay and there is power to the outlet. I tried it in other outlets, but no power.

There was a short (15-20 minute) power outage earlier in the day, but it was working fine after that.

I've looked online and saw many possible causes (e.g., blown line fuse, shorted high voltage capcitor, etc.).

Any assistance is appreciated.

It sounds like the fuse is open in the control compartment. Remove the cover 4 screws in the back and 2 screws on each side at the bottom.

Be sure it's unplugged and discharge the high voltage capacitor. Line Fuse M0805101 Order now for same day shipping. 365 day return policy. RepairClinic.com

Microwave Has No Power

I posted this question in the Sharp sub-forum, but thought I would post it in the Main Forum as well.

I've looked online and saw many possible causes (e.g., line fuse, thermal fuse, shorted high voltage capcitor, etc.).

Any assistance is appreciated.

Sorry whistle1, that's my bad. I remember answering that question but I sometimes forget to click on "Post Reply" before I close my browser. You probably have an open line fuse in the control compartment. Remove the cover, four screws in back and two on each side at the bottom. The front of the cover is held by tabs so pull the cover back to remove it. Make sure the machine is unplugged and discharge the high voltage capacitor. Pull the ceramic fuse out of the holder and check it for continuity. All the home centers carry them. or:

It turned out to be nothing more than a fuse. Got a pack of two at the hardware store for $3.00.
