I'm so impressed with myself for fixing my microwave oven for $5.68. But really, the credit goes to you. You saved me $300 for a new microwave or at least $150 for a repair person to come out. More than that, you made me feel competent. Amazing video. What a service you provide.

As a new home owner who is now responsible for things like this, I can not tell you how much I appreciate you. No bs talking, straight to the point. Clearly explain everything with safety precautions
Easy to follow and appreciate the pov shots


Very very appreciated thank you

Great instructional video. Contrary to other instructional videos on YouTube where the speaker is more interested in hearing themselves talk, you were not long-winded. Straight to the heart of the problem and the fix. Saved me from purchasing a new microwave. Fuse costs me $3.63 at my local big box hardware store and I was back up and running.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I'm a single woman who lives alone and when my microwave randomly lost power, I was so stressed thinking how many hundreds of dollars it was going to cost to get someone to come fix. I did the breaker box thing and the power came on. I can't thank you

I finally found my fuse hiding behind some components on a circuit board. The biggest tip that you helped me out with was the disassembly of the front! I was thinking that I had to take the whole unit down! You saved me BIG time! Thanks! (My M/W is a HotPoint)

I just fixed my microwave with your instructions.

Thank you so much ! I thought my brand new microwave broke but the circuit did the trick. Lifesaver, gotta love the people who take time to make these videos 😁

I was about to attempt this but the words "Can Kill You" made me spend money for the repair guy coming over Monday.

You fixed ME! I had an oven that had this issue a couple years ago and I knew it was an easy fix - THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 😂🎉 Just needed a little refresher!

Picking up TWO fuses for $5.98 tomorrow at HD. 😊

I fixed my Microwave, I just followed your have two left hands when it comes to electrical work. Thanks a million.

So this just happened to me today July 10, 2024 at 1850. I watched your video. I had already performed step one to see if that would work, like you said, you may get lucky. I didn’t. Viewed step two, and it was indeed my breaker switch. Thank you sir!

[edpropst]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I replaced the magnetron and high voltage capacitor and it works like new.

So glad I found this video. 5.98 for a box of 2. Very simple to do. Saved me over 450.00 on a new one.

Thank you so much. I am handy around the house and fix almost everything that needs fixing. I couple months ago my partner attempted to boil an egg in the microwave. Needless to say I didn’t work. I then opened it up to see if any of the electrical circuits had blown. Thankfully, not so. I then thought it must be the fuse. When you mentioned by simply using tin foil to see if it is indeed the fuse.

IT WORKED! I’ll be replacing it tomorrow. Amazing clip. Thank you ♥️
