Apollo microwave works fine, half time does not get hot. has anyone got a remedy other than replacement of the unit?

Give a call to Midwest Sales & Service. (574) 287-3365
Probably be a lady answer. Tell her your question and she will probably give you the cell number of Bob, their Apollo man. He can probably tell you if it is something you can repair yourself.

If not, ask if they still have refurbished units available for sale. They're not refurbished in that they were nonfunctional. They're rejects from RV manufacturers because of visual defects. We replaced ours a few years ago with a refurbished unit from Midwest Sales. It had two dimples in the back wall and a couple of light scratches on the glass. Others have reported they can't find the defect. At the time we paid around $116 plus $16 shipping. It's still working great today and it is our primary oven. The gas oven is our breadbox.

My Half-Time Coils died too.
Replacement Coil assembly (the back of the unit) was procured from Midwest Sales (no refurb units in stock at the time).
Dissasembly and Reassembly not bad, needed one tip from their repair guy as wiring changed (simplified) slightly. LOTS of small screws to remove and ended up with a few leftover.
Has been cooking great since then.

Wife called and tech said our unit, (2006 or7) was an old one and would need a different panel ($20) and said the repair could be a thermostat or heating box.
So, how did you determine if it was the heating box or thermostat? Wife didn't ask prices as we probably won't repair till I get the rig home in October. Maybe I should get on the list for a refurb.
