So, after over 10 years of my GE over the range microwave oven just working along (it was brand new when I moved into where I live now), the oven's turntable decided to no longer turn.
Now I'm weighing my options.
1) be old school and manually rotate the food. For example, if something gets nuked for 4 minutes, turn the plate about a quarter turn each minute.
2) call for repair (about $89 just for a visit, since I don't have a service plan)
3) buy a counter top, smaller microwave oven since my microwave needs mainly are to just reheat food anyway.
When I moved in years ago, and saw the microwave, I said cool, but also wished it wasn't the over the range type as I knew some day the oven would break down.
On question on over the range microwaves. If I decided to go brand new, for example, get one from say, Sears/Best Buy/Home Depot would they install the new one and remove the old for me (like a dishwasher), or not so for microwaves?
