Hey OU,Seems to me I remember reading of your travels on Churaks travel board, looks like you had a nice trip until you got home.
They say things happen in threes, so it looks like your appliances all got together and conspired against you..lol
The microwave I haven't replaced, it's pre-digital all mechanical doesn't have a clock just a knob selector, the setting and push button on.
It's a Sharp carousel II a big one, and has run flawlessly since sometime in the seventies I think.
Already replaced the stove with a ceramic top by GE, love it.
