Gene-
Microwave turntable and heat is inoperative. Otherwise A-OK.
(GE JKP85BOA2BB, sn DV64261Q. Size 1.6cu, combo with oven, vintage 1999).
I pushed the lower interlock switch and hear distinct clicking and smooth operation. Is the upper latch also a switch? I see no switch mechanism and wonder if it is dislodged. If only one, lower switch, which SOUNDS like it works, what's next? Replace the switch anyway. Might be worth it to me to try, given cost of entire combo unit ($1,600+).
If prob is the magnetron or such, I assume the unit needs to come out of the cabinet? is it worthwhile for me, an avid but electrically unskilled guy, to yank the unit out of the cabinet, take off the microwave, and try to fix this myself and/or find a shop? Ten year old combo unit... Penny wise, pound foolish?
Thanks for any clues...
