Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Ugh... this is a really old, countertop one. I wonder if I should just replace it.... I wouldn't even know who to call to check it.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 You can get new microwaves very cheap now, especially if you find them on clearance at WM or on black Friday. You would have to take your into a local Mr. Fixit appliance place for him to check it out, but it would cost you more than it would to replace it. Just start checking it our yourself to see if the door is seated nice and tight when you shut it. Does it wobble any if you try to wiggle it when you try and jiggle it while closed? If it does, replace it. Most likely you need to replace it because those doors shut tightly and the pressure built up in the unit to blow the door open would have been siginificant, now that I think about how the doors hook closed. Just keep your sharp shopper eyes open and don't use yours anymore than you have to.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Any local appliance repair shop can do this for you, but you're right..a service call could be as much as a new microwave....
