Terry on Mar 20, 2015This happened to me...not worth fixing. Buy a new one they don't cost much these days.Helpful Reply

GabbyinPa. on Mar 21, 2015I agree with Terry, if it's 7 years old and is acting up, I'd invest ina new one. They're cheap today, you can get one around $50.00 and be sure it's made known that it's new to any new buyer.Helpful Reply

Robert Snow on Mar 21, 2015To begin with I wouldn't have a Microwave over a stove but that's to each his own . If it won't heat and the turntable won't turn but the light comes on it's time for a new one . Get a good one if you use one like we do or if you just use it a little go inexpensive . I hate the word cheap when it comes to consumer goods because if you buy cheap that's just what you get . Good luck !!!Helpful Reply

Roberta on Mar 21, 2015I tried & tried to have out biscuit colored MW fixed, as I dreaded the next step -- replacing all my appliances for SS, as the ivory colored appliances are not well stocked (too old fashioned, I am told). We looked up possible fixes on the internet, as no repairman I contacted, will fix MW's. There is a real danger in messing with the electrical parts of your MW, as they store electric. Some internet places we looked at, said that you can get shocked, up to 1/2 hour after unplugging the appliance. Wait for a good sale, and get a new one -- maybe with a better warranty. They actually do not have a long life expectancy, so do the research.Helpful Reply

Melissa Gutilla on Mar 21, 2015Ours burnt out about 2 months ago. I put something in it and I heard a noise went back and it wouldn't do anything. We got another one at Lowes for 168.00 over the stove one. It was actually much cheaper than I could find on line and works great.Helpful Reply

Jill on Mar 22, 2015Sounds like the magnetron is burnt out. No fix for that. You will probably just have to buy a new one.Helpful Reply

Dee on Mar 26, 2015I totally agree with Mary. I have a micro that's about 12 yo now, and mine did the same thing one day, the sides come off after undoing the screws and there is a small simple fuse which I found at the hardware store for 3 bucks! That was 5 yrs ago and she's still going strong. I look for the fuse in yours especially since your selling the house.Helpful Reply
