Does anybody know ...

[Workingman]

... why my microwave has stopped working? It is only 15 months or so old.

It is a digital job. The clock works, so does the turntable, and it looks as though it is obeying my instructions to cook things my way.

However, it does nothing - cooking or defrost wise.

Am I in need of a new one or is there a fix?

[AggersAgain]

I've never heard of this sort of problem before, so I haven't a clue.

Presuming the plate is still going round and it's making the usual noise,
couldn't you get in touch with the makers and ask their advice?

[JoM]

No idea Frank, but you'd expect it to last longer than 15 months. Contact the manufacturers and put that to them.
Was it an expensive one? Just thinking that a repair may cost more than the actual machine did?

An ASDA job, Jo and Aggers, I guess that a repair will cost more than a new one.

would expect Asda to replace it

[Workingman]

Out of guarantee, Vic. Dead as a Dodo - cooking wise.

If it's not an expensive one, then I'd have thought that ASDA would be willing to either replace or give you a good discount on a new one. They'd prefer to avoid negative feedback.

I know you're not big on Facebook but if you posted on their FB page asking if they knew of a fix - I'd be surprised if they didn't offer to replace

[JoM]

It should last longer than 15 months though Frank, regardless of price, so you've got nothing to lose by contacting them and giving them a bit of the Frank charm

Imagine it is a premature failure of the magnetron. They usually last ages but are available as a spare part though may cost more than a new oven.

Had my microwave for donkeys years
Looks like a new one is in order
