I wouldn't know who fixes either, Brie. Butis it worth trying to fix a microwave? It would probably end upcosting more than getting a new one ( that is the consumer society we live in, unfortunately)

[wickerinca]

Yep you are right Ju...........you would pay more for someone to look at it than it would take to buy a new one. Sorry

One playstation is saying no data tryed cleaning it hasnt worked the other is making a grinding noise & scratching the discs.(Yes we managed to blow up 2 of them!!)
The microwave is a combi with oven & grill it isnt that old & it cost me alot so thought it might be worth trying to fix it.

I'm in the same boat as you brea. I come on here now instead of the playstation and the microwave breaking was the best thing ever!!
Now i have either lettuce or a slim fast for dinner..no cooking and even better no washing up!!

[BRIE]

The microwave breaking connie was a nightmare means i have to cook real dinners now! Not my forte

Slim fasts a real enough dinner for me..lol Try Graham Beggs, they might fix it. Good luck..If i wasn't trying to loose weight I would probably miss it too.

No problem Brie i found another one it was about the same as that link

Which part isn't working?. Is it the microwave itself......what happens?

[BRIE]

microwave lights up & turntable goes round but nothings cooking.

[wickerinca]

It may be worth getting Graham's Beggs to look at it....or that other fellow up in Thurso. It doesn't sound too good but it could just be a bad connection.
Wish i could help more

thanks wickerinca.

The Hydro Electric shop in wick has the combi's for £49..it would likely cost you more than that to fix at Graham Beggs, don't they have a £30 charge before they even look at something..
