Hello Jeremy,
Thank you for your question. Its likely the control assembly under part PS11726467 for your model that is defective and causing the microwave to trip the breaker. We hope this helps.

I have replaced the fuse above the touch pad control. It was burned out it took a 20amp fuse which i have replaced twice and i set the clock, turned on the fan and also the light underneath the unit everything work fine. But when i put food in the oven and set the timer on the touch pad it keeps burning out the fuse.

Good Day Frank. Thank you for your question in regards to your unit (Model Number MWV150KBB). Based on our research, we have found the following information: 1) Your microwave has what engineers call interlock switches that disable the oven when the door is open. Malfunctioning interlock switches or a badly misaligned door can cause the fuses to blow. It's also possible the microwave's cooling fan may have failed, leading to overheating and melting the element in the fuse. Another possible problem is a short in the controller or near the line cord that feeds power into the microwave unit. 2) If you have a short in the controller or near the line cord, the new fuse usually blows again immediately. The fuse also blows again if there is a short in the microwave magnetron or generator, the part of the microwave that actually produces the microwave radiation to cook the food. The location of the generator depends on the model you have; typically it's located behind a perforated screen overlooking the chamber that houses your food. You can disconnect the generator by unplugging the wiring connecting it to the cavity thermal fuse and the other circuitry; the location of these elements depends on the model, so consult the manufacturer's instructions for details. The microwave will not heat food with the generator disconnected, but if you are able to select a cycle and initiate it as you normally would without blowing the fuse again, then the short may be within the generator itself. We hope this helps! Best Regards.

Hello
I am wanting to know why the microwave trips the breaker. I even tried plugging it into a different outlet and it still trips the breaker
For model number MWV150KBB
Hello Johnny, thank you for contacting us. The microwave will trip the breaker when it draws an excessive amount of electricity. We would recommend checking all the high-voltage parts of the microwave. Check the diode, part number PS12071314, the transformer, part number PS2364425, and the magnetron, part number PS12705729. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of help!
Does this model have an ceramic fuse other than the glass one in front of the control panel? A Overnight power surge blew the cooking surface bulb out of the screw in socket and tripped the panel breaker (house). The glass fuse appears o.k. and i traced the incoming power cord to the front power panel and don't see a ceramic or and other fuses. I Have power at the wall socket 120. Thanks.

Hello Thomas, thank you for contacting us. There is a thermostat (thermal cut-off), part number PS12071310, which acts like a fuse and shuts off the microwave if it overheats or a power surge occurs. We would recommend testing it for continuity. We would also recommend checking the control board, part number PS11726470, because it is the most vulnerable part in the event of a power surge. If you require assistance placing an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
Remove vent cover then remove touch screen control panel. When you remove control panel take photo of where everything is plugged in then unplug and remove control panel. 3 door switches located next to door in a plastic chassis. Test each switch with current tester. Remove the bad switch and replace with the new one. You tube DIY helped.
First thing I dir was search YouTube for any related videos and found this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHj4H9Fdxrc, it was the exact problem my microwave was exhibiting. Once I verified the problem by troubleshooting, I removed the part and verified that the switches were working fine, the door latch assembly showed signs of wear which was the cause of the problem. After receiving the replacement part I installed it, verified that power was restored to the unit and reassembled the microwave, works fine, hope it lasts a long time!
