My 07 is getting old

[H. John Kohl]

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.
