Everything on my Sharp Jet Convection Microwave appears to be running but it doesn't heat the food. Is there a fuse that governs the microwave part of the oven which may have blown? If so, where is it located?

Hope you can help!

That's typically a bad door switch.

If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety and disassembly info at our site, as well as other specific troubleshooting information and help.

In my professional opinion, people should not work on a microwave unless they are fully informed and aware of the deadly hazards and necessary precautions.

You can find safety and disassembly text files (as well as a text file which helps in diagnosing and repairing door switch problems) at http://www.microwavedisplay.com

In the US, you can order parts for Sharp models from Tritronics at http://www.wehaveparts.com.

You can find wiring diagrams and parts lists and order parts for most other US brands from the Pros here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383.
