Most of the time it was a bad timer/clock card. The only time they were worth the price of the part to fix was if it was a built in that matched the rest of the appliances and a discontinued model. Most of the time, when we told them what the card cost, they said "throw it away". We did have a big Amana we used in the shop but I just drilled a hole through the touch pad and put a 15 minute spring wound timer in there. It was a little bit of a trick to rewire it so all the interlocks still worked and it still came on but not that big a trick. |

Hers was a top of the line "radar range" The base glass broke and I bought her a new one that was about 65 bucks in about 1990 Not long after, the circuit went out. that was it's death knell. I think she got it new in about '78 or 9. It was a heavy old beast! |

I fixed a bunch of airborne radar units, and I think probably only had 1 or 2 magnetrons go bad in 3 years of fixing them. Our units were a lot higher power and had tubes also. Probably the average on transports was 50kw at a low duty cycle. But ran for hours at a time. |

They were really afraid of microwaves in the late 60s and the regs were pretty tight. |

They were really afraid of microwaves in the late 60s and the regs were pretty tight. === We have an older microwave oven on the boat, probably 20 years old or more. It knocks out the WiFi network every time it's on. Our oven at home is newer and does not usually affect the WiFi at all. I have never had that but you have me curious. I will give it a shot later this evening. Have you looked at the door seals? You still seem to be saying your oven is 27 years newer than mine, when they had become $99 disposables. I think I paid close to $300 for mine in Nixon dollars === It was on the boat when we bought it 13 years ago and it was not new then, probably at least 5 to 10 years old already. I'd replace it but it's a custom fit built-in. |
