Baumatic Microwave Fuses

[gingadunc]

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

Or 750mA

More much cheaper 750mA fuses from CPC

CPC also have a microwave spare dept, maybe they could offer more help.

Or here is the part you need 700mA 5kV. Not cheap though

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?
