Oh the horror! Our microwave died today. Just died. No warning!
I'll be ordering a new one tomorrow when the appliance store opens up and it's above the range, so I'm going to pay to have them install it so I know it's safe. What a pain.
I've actually never had one die and I've only ever owned two. I got rid of the first one because the the door seal didn't look too healthy and a test confirmed it was leaking microwaves.
I've never been a fan of built in appliances so getting a replacement was no big deal but as someone who uses a microwave most days I can imagine the pain of having to employ a qualified person to make the swap. Around these parts you would be lucky to get someone within a month.
Buy another. Although, these days I could do without. I am good with the traditional oven, and new products like air fryers and countertop ovens are looking like they are just as versatile without turning your food into hot lava with a cold center, lol.
I've never had this problem before. Have three microwaves at my house at the moment. All work perfectly fine. One of them I got when I started college and moved into a dorm room. 🙂

This microwave was almost as old as you....it was 17 years. I guess it lived a good, long life. Whirlpool brand, we'll be buying that brand to replace it. It's over the range, so I want someone to install it...that's another $99.
We have a spare one laying around. My wife bought a nice one that she one a ways back so if it were to break, we'd just swap it out for the old one we had before that.
end up going out and buying another one XD or use the spare
