LF: Microwave (built-in) repair or information

[Jero Miginla]

I have an older LG (~10 years) microwave that went on the fritz a couple days ago. Basically it stays on anytime the door is closed (i.e. it does not turn off unless it is unplugged).

I have looked around and it seems not many places in calgary service microwaves, and the ones that do were a bit wary and said I may be better to just look into getting a new one.

Any thoughts or advice on how to tackle this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks CP

Microwave repair can get expensive. I know from personal experience.

After getting 10 years out of it I would cut my losses and get a new one.

Your repair will cost at least as much as a new unit.

Good luck...

Suggest making sure you try any microwave you buy within the first few days of buying it to make sure it still works; don't wait 2-3 weeks and try and return it.


That said, I'd suggest this one; its a wicked deal for a great looking SAMSUNG stainless OTR microwave. Plus Costco's return policy is bulletproof. Its $259 in stores (I snagged one at Calgary South location the other day, they had tonnes in stock). 300CFM blower, 1000W to boot.
