I posted part of this in Peteskis thread about his issues with LG....
I whent out to my kitchn for some water and coffee cake, to sit down for late night work..
However my stupid, microwave is running all by it's lonesome AGAIN....

What do i do???? Can i attempt to do something with it or should i chuck it?? Whirlpool won't fix it, and i know a service call will cost $75-100 or so, and a new one is like $150-$175... Next one i get will have an extended warranty..
Below is a picture of it Mis-behaving.. I have never seen anything like it.. Notice the display says what time it is but the light is on inside and the oven is on...

Here is what i posted to Peteskis LG thread (there is also a picture of the microwave behaving there)
However, Whirlpool has been a bear...
I bought a cleaernce Wpool Microhood (as seen in the pics posted on my Yahoo pictures account)on Ebay from a Wpool dealer in atlanta for $100, in January of 2006 (i thought my house would be done by July.. What a Joke).. I registered it in May 2006.. However, Whirlpool refuses to honor the warranty stating that this unit was manufactured in 2001 (which it was) and that the warranty goes from the date of manufacture (what?!)... I thought that the warranty whent from the date of purchase... Now my stupid microwave runs when ever it feels the need (very slowly), the vent fan turns on by it's self, the lights don't work and it beladtly tells you to "Close the Door" when it's closed, unless you slam it very hard.... After 7 calls and 3 emails, whirlpool still refuses to fix my microwave, which was New in the Box, bought from a Whirlpool Dealer (who also refuses to help me and is going out of busniess).. I am afraid it may catch fire or something when i am not home because it likes to run with out it being told to do so.. So i am keeping it unplugged until i can figure out what to do.. How come whirlpool can't be as nice as Sears? They know i bought it new.... Grr
 
Here is another picture of it.. Although, i think i may have found part of the issue (which strangley shows up better here than in real life)..The door isn't all the way closed.. Hmm
 
This looks like it calls for "ye olde switcheroo."
*USE SPARINGLY*

Wash and clean the hell out of the old one.

Buy the exact model, new.
Return the old one in the new packaging the same or the next day, with new receipt in hand.

Reason for return?
It doesn't fit where I need it to fit.
(While thinking "Up your @$$").

VOILA C'EST FAIT.
I can't stand when a decent consumer suffers.
 
LMAO... Wish i could.. They no longer make these and i am to damn honest.. I am probably going to rip it out after only 4 months of use and put in a new Frigidaire (see link).. I will stick this POS on ebay and be done with it.. Frigidaire has come leaps and bounds and after looking at the offerings of others, they are the only units that have a good fitting easy open door and have pleanty of features... Plus I will get an extended warranty through Sears... At least they will stand behind it..
