I have a Sharp Microwave model R-1870F. We set it for time bake and left. When we returned it had baked OK but the unit was dead. I checked and fuse inside the microwave was blown (250v - 20 amp). I looked over the wiring inside and nothing looked shorted. I installed a new fuse and started the microwave. It made a loud buzzing sound and blew the new fuse immediately.
Optional Information: Make: SharpModel: R-1870F
did you smell a electrical odor
No I did not smell electrical odor. That was the first thing I checked. There was no storms at the time either. I owned an alarm company so I am competent with meters and such if you want me to check anything.
