Microwave power lost Amanda H. • Ofallon , MO • June 24, 2014
Purchased this thermostat for $13 and spent 6 minutes fixing the microwave. This was after I was quoted $162 to fix the microwave from a service technician. I explained that I wasn't paying $162 to fix a $200 microwave and they offered to dispose of the microwave for free--yeah, right! $13 and 6 minutes later, my microwave was fixed with this part from AppliancePartsPros.com. Thank you!
