Baumatic Microwave Fuses
My Baumatic microwave has recently come out of it's warranty and
(surprise, surprise) it has stopped functioning properly. The display and grill etc work fine but not the m'wave itself. Upon stripping it down I found that the magnetron supply fuse has blown. I have tried Baumatic spares for a replacement and have been quoted £42 - FOR A FUSE!!! The fuse type is a TUV 5kV 700mA glass fuse about 6x32 mm. Can anybody give me any advice on where to get hold of one or a suitable replacement? Many thanks in advance!! p.s it will also get the wife off my back! |

Not found 700mA From RS I found But did find 800mA anti surge http://tinyurl.com/5kjd6 Or 750mA http://tinyurl.com/6vbno More much cheaper 750mA fuses from CPC http://tinyurl.com/6wy9f CPC also have a microwave spare dept, maybe they could offer more help. www.cpc.co.uk |

Not cheap though http://www.donberg.ie/descript/0/07a5kv.htm Before you blow (no pun...) $20 on a fuse, some testing is needed. While it's possible that the fuse is the only problem, the likelihood is that something has failed and the new fuse will just blow instantly. --- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ Mirror: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Sites: http://repairfaq.ece.drexel.edu/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Note: These links are hopefully temporary until we can sort out the excessive traffic on Repairfaq.org.
