This morning, the generator couldn’t start the microwave. No power, at all (no light, no clock, no anything). It’s not the generator, because the outlets are live, and everything else on the selector, works. Since it’s not getting any power, I figured we would start at the “bottom”, and work up.

Mike/Tracy-I checked the breakers on our 90-345 and found the one to the left of the GFI breaker is the one that killed the microwave circuit. All my breakers are mounted in the panel at the front of the univolt, under the kitchen drawers.(the drawers next to the doors under the sinks)

Cantrell,
Ours is a Sharp...

Richinny,
The ground wire is good-no corrosion, and tight connection

345Bill,
We have NO GFI's in the unit...I hadn't noticed that till you got me looking...Our breaker panel is in the same location, and has 6 breaker switches on the left, and several automotive fuses to the right of the breakers...the plug behind the microwave works, but the micro doesn't...

We'll be in Tucson next week, for awhile, and have found a service that will come to us...will let this post know what they found(or didn't)...mike

We had an appliance repair company, look at it. It will cost $500-$600 to fix it. I don’t think so.

I want to stay with the mix of convection/microwave, and it is difficult to find a countertop model, that can be built in, and will fit in that cabinet spot. We decided the Sharp 820, would work best.
It looks like we can use the same “face” trim from the other one. We will wait until we get home, and have a static UPS address to order it.

I still have a “niggle”. The old one discharged the heat in the back of the cabinets, but with two convection elements, is it too much for it?

Any experience with that model?
