Furrion convection Microwave Door Switches
I keep blowing fuses on my furrion convection microwave when I open the door. I would like to order spare switches but have been unable to find the correct part numbers, even after searching the forum.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Update:
I replaced the switch holder and I am no longer blowing fuses when opening the microwave door.
Gotta love all the great information provided by forum members!
Thanks

Hope someone can help. I just replaced the switch holder and switches. I'll put everything back together & it will work 1-2 times. I've popped popcorn, boiled water etc... then the next time nothing. No heat, no hum of the microwave when it's engaged. I've put an olm meter on all three switches & they are all working. Fuse is not blown. I'm at a loss. TIA

As Paul Harvey would say, here's the rest of the story. I replaced the switch holder & the switches as described above. I did check all switches with an ohm meter and the old ones were good. The new ones were good. So I put it all back together. I got it to heat up some water. I'm so excited I call my wife, went to demonstrate and nothing. I work on it some more and eventually was able to pop a bag of popcorn. Now I'm really excited. Then next time nothing. This went on for several more hours. Work, then not work. I came to the conclusion it's either a capacitor, diode, or magnetron(I think that's the name). I called a local appliance repair shop and was told nobody works on them any more. Too many things can go wrong & it's cheaper to replace than pay for parts & shop cost. So I found the same exact Furrion microwave convection over at Best Buy under the Insignia brand. $300 instead of over $500 for the Furrion.
Anyhow, it's ordered and should be here in a few weeks.Stephen & Kerri

We had the same problem with ours. As I recall, its more about the switches opening or closing at the exact same time. If one switch opens/closes before the other it blows the fuse. Believe it or not I solved the problem by wrapping black electrical tape around one of the door claws (lower one i think) of the door so both switches activate at the same time. Saw a YouTube on it. Been working ever since.

I saw that video as well & tried it. Didn't help at all. Fact is our unit never blew a fuse crazy as it sounds. I suspect it's a capacitor, diode resistor or something else above my pay grade & willingness to dig any further
