Iam getting it fixed i am. But wondering how much to get it fixed. It
was a 900 dollar Microwave so i think getting it fixed is the thing to
do.

It seems to convect for a few minutes then it cuts out and the
Microwave stops. I was thinking a sensor or somthin gis kaput ??

Thanks for any info.

Could be a fan has siezed and is allowing the oven to overheat, either way
it's probably fairly simple, just take it to an appliance shop and have them
give you a repair estimate.

Could be a fan has siezed and is allowing the oven to overheat, either way
it's probably fairly simple, just take it to an appliance shop and have them
give you a repair estimate.

But if you want any detailed repair advice, you must post the model
number and manufacturer, and you should be able to perform some basic
troubleshooting first.
For microwave ovens, this means first understanding the very important
safety rules for working on them available at:

http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/micfaq.htm#micsaf

Then, you need to be able to do some tests such as checking if the
keyboard accepts commands, the door switches operate correctly, and
while following the safety rules, you should be able to check whether
certain voltages are available at the correct areas and component
locations. You need to know how to test components like diodes,
switches, capacitors, and fuses.

For safety reasons, if you do not know how to do these things, you
should take your microwave to a qualified technician for an estimate on
the repair. Otherwise you could do a lot more damage to it, or even
worse you can be killed or injured by the high voltage, high current
circuits inside. (Microwave ovens are the most dangerous home appliance
to work on if you're not careful.)

Don't take any of this the wrong way. Members of this group ENCOURAGE
you to do your own repairs, but safety is a priority.

And not a place that's more interested in selling you a new one!

Yes, I should have specified an appliance *service* shop, look for a mom &
pop type place that sells parts and does repairs, not a chain store.

Check out the thermal cutouts,normally on the case top.There are two
with diff. temperatures on them.they will cause the oven to cut out if
faulty.Best to just replace than test as they are pretty cheap.
