Combined microwave oven keeps tripping breaker.

[Mottie]

As above. My mums combined oven/microwave keeps tripping the breaker in the fuse box. She has determined it only happens when the door is opened so probably something to do with the light. It’s not that old either but just out of guarantee now. Is it safe to open these things up and have a poke around inside - I’m sure I read somewhere that they can be dangerous to take apart? Any suggestions?

I can't answer with any certainty but can confirm I've had our combined oven/microwave in bits twice now to change the bulb. There are no fancy seals or anything to worry about on ours - just a few screws around the casing as you would expect.

Hi the same thing is happening to my microwave, did you sort the problem out?
