Amana Microwave
Pete,
We were unable to find a suitable unit the replace the Sharp micro/convection in our 87 FC. All of the newer ovens we looked at had the fan assembly protruding from the rear of the unit. The depth clearance made most large units unacceptable. We purchased a much smaller Sharp oven from Wal-Mart for about $200. It works fine, but generates a great deal of heat. I added a small blower in the extra space to dissipate the heat. BTW, there's a lot of wiring directly behind the oven on our FC. Hope this helps, Bill & Rita in Roanoke, VA 1987 FC-35 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

I have a convection microwave from Amana that does not work. Is it
generally better to try to repair this microwave or try to locate another of the same size. It is in an 87 PT-40 and measures about 24 3/4" wide and 15 1/4" high. Pete Amerson 87 PT-40 |

Sorry about the misinformation. Mine is also a Sharp. I hate to get
another that will be a differenet size. But I may not have a choice. --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, racin41@a... wrote: > Pete, > > We were unable to find a suitable unit the replace the Sharp > micro/convection in our 87 FC.

Pete:
Have you checked the fuse inside? There is also thermo unit that goes out from time to time, it is like a diode. You have to remove the unit and cover to check these. Might save you time and money.

Ralph,
The light comes on in the inside. No lights will light up on the outside where the buttons are. There is a local place that I can have look at it.
