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!

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.

6 x 32 mm is 1/4 x 1 1/4 - standard US size. I disbelieve the 5 KV rating - which circuit is it wired into?
