Does it blow when you close the door? Someone else suggested replacing the fuse and turn the breaker off. Place the food in the MW and close the door, and then turn the breaker back on and heat. You will have to turn the breaker off/on every time you use it. A bit of a pain, but better than not being able to use it. I just replaced mine with a non-convection MW. We have a Ninja toaster oven and never really used the convection option. Also, the two convection/mw units that would fit were both out of stock.

I do what Baldicon does. I even have some yellow tape on the breaker to make it easy to ID.
Now for the rest of the story...
I changed the door switches and it still blows the fuse.
I'm going to get a 20A push button fuse from a local electronics parts store and mount it on top so we dont have to keep going back and forth to the circuit breaker panel. At least that will get us by until we get a replacement.

MW light and clock work
when door is open.
close door, blows cb.
tried the other way.
dosent even give me a chance.

I didn't come up with that idea, someone on here suggested it and I was just passing it on. It may have been you that suggest it? I thought about replacing the door switches but had read about others that did, and it didn't fix it.
