highpointe microwave

[B&BSmith]

highpointe microwave in 2019 soliude 310gk lost power completely (including clock) after I stopped cooking to check food. Recepticle is good as I tested it by plugging lamp. Is there an internal fuse? Any thoughts on what is wrong?

We have a 2018 Solitude 377MBS. The same thing happened to us - it just stopped working right after being used. Research showed that it just happens with these units. We opted to get a residential microwave to replace it since we didn't use the convection feature at all. It is not cost effective to try to repair it.

This is a weak point/design flaw in these microwave ovens - all brands (residential, too). The part of the internal latch mechanism that holds two door switches wears and the switches don't make/break contact at the same time. This blows the internal fuse. You can keep replacing the fuse until the cows come home, but it will keep blowing. Depending on the microwave brand, you can order a replacement part (the old switches should be fine). The Frigidaire part fits our Furrion microwave/convection oven, so I have a spare on board.
