What is this filter and fuse for?
So, the microwave was pushed way back in when we arrived at our current camp site. I pulled it out to see what happened and this Filter and Fuse Holder was under the wood plate that the microwave sits on. What is it for? I am guessing the Stove Vent fan/light since it's right above it, but can't follow the wires and wondering why it would be in place you would never look for a fuse... I pulled the wood plate up because it was not sitting flat and this Filter and Fuse Holder was the reason why.

Northstar, thanks for the reply, to clarify, are you saying this is for the interior lights, i.e., the room lights on the ceiling? Or are you saying they are for the out side lights, i.e., the porch light, stair lights, etc? Or are you saying it is for the driving lights on the outside of the trailer?

It may be a filter/fuse for the radio. That's the only item I could imagine requiring a noise filter.

Recently our range hood fan went out and while repairing it I came across the exact same filter/fuse, I opened the black box and it does not appear to be a fuse although the case says "Fuse" on it. It appears to be copper wire wrapped around a round magnet or metallic object. It is connected to the range fan on the hot side and appears to have something to do with it. It is also definitely low voltage and not connected in anyway to the microwave.
Side note, the range fan has a fuse taped on the side of the 12 volt motor as well and that was what my problem was.
Hope any of this helps.

Thanks tahoe1840,
Before I read this, I opened it too. You are right it is just a filter, no fuse, and it is on the 12vdc line. Good info on the fuse next to the fan motor too!

FILTER
It is a filter for the noisy DC motor for the 12VDC stove vent hood. If the filter was not there you could not watch TV, listen to the AM/FM radio because of the ac/dc generated RF frequency.
Blame the cheap $1.00 motor for the filter.
