How to Change the Fuse in a Jenn-Air M167 Microwave

When your Jenn-Air M167 microwave stops working, pinpoint the cause. Check the power cord to ensure it's still plugged into the outlet. Also, check that the breaker is on. If the microwave still doesn't work, change the fuse. The fuse in the microwave prevents damage if there's a power surge, as the filament in the fuse will break before the surge has a chance to damage the appliance. Replacing the fuse takes only a few minutes and requires no special tools.
