Loren A Windsor , WI November 28, 2020 The frigidaire microwave would blow fuses on a regular basis After doing some research the problem appeared to be the door safety switches. I ordered 3 new ones to replace all the original ones. Some minor disassembly of the microwave front was required to reach the fuse and switches. To reach the switches the control panel wires needed to be unplugged and the panel removed. After doing that replacing the switches was pretty strait forward. As of this comment the microwave has worked for 5 days without blowing the fuse so far. This has probably fixed the issue.

Chandra H Warwick , RI October 19, 2025 Appliance: Model FRIGIDAIRE LFMV1645TF Frigidaire microwave tripping breaker I ordered the three parts that potentially would have to be changed per a YouTube video I watched: the fuse, the primary interlock door switch and the monitoring switch. The video online told how to test which part might need to be replaced using a mentimeter (taking the microwave apart and testing continuity with the mentimeter took more time than replacing the part!). However, the mentimeter did save me from having to open the other packages, so I can return them. Always pleased to save money and have the correct parts for the job! Thanks! Read More...
