My 07 is getting old
The dryer belt failed because a commode rug wedged in the window. Not an age issue but usage.
The microwave/convention oven worked and flashed off when I opened it tonight. So now the trouble shooting starts.
I guess ages is starting to affect my unit.
Safe travels all.
Edit 5/18/13 Thanks Allen. I pulled out the microwave and it powered up. It is heavier than I expected. Plug looked solid in the outlet so I am guessing a door issue as you mentioned.

John, on occasion I have had the same problem with the microwave/convection oven. I know there is a problem with an intermittent short in the door latch/lock assembly but I'll be darn if I can trace it down. Sometimes it just trips the breaker but on two occasions it has taken out the 30A fuse inside the unit. It is easy to get to when you remove the cover.
The problem with troubleshooting is the problem only occurs seldom. I have opened and closed the door many times while I have the unit removed and can never duplicate the problem.
If you find the root cause please pass it on.

John rigs are just like people. Every morning I try all my parts to see which are still in working condition.

John, that half-time oven comes out easily. Remove the screws in the fascia, remove the fascia. Then lift the oven out. It's plugged into a 110v socket inside that cabinet so you'll have to unplug that as you pull it out. Or get someone to do that while you pull it out. The "legs" of the oven sit in four little cups screwed to the floor, in ours. That and the fascia are all that hold it in.
When ours died I called the manufacturer. I bought from them a "blem" oven for $116 including shipping. They told me the blems are brand new but were returned by dealers or mfrs because of blemishes. Ours had a little dimple in the back inside wall. I've heard they may not sell blems any longer but if you need to replace, it might be worth checking. This one has lasted several years. Knock on wood. We really like the half time feature.
