Thermal Fuse Blows Without Any Reason

This is the second time in less than 3 months that the main thermal fuse of a Whirpool GMH 6185 microwave oven blows without any reason and always when nobody is using it at all and several hours after it was operated. There is not a short circuit, the convection feature is rarely used. I just replace the fuse and the microwave works as if nothing is wrong. This oven is driving me nuts because after less than 6 months of purchase it the magnetron blowed, I replaced it and 6 months later it blowed again. I have another Whirpool microwave wich is over 15 years old and it is still working like the first day without any problem and this fancy microwave/convection combo made abroad just keep failing and failing
