Kenmore Microwave/Wall Oven Combo

[hb55]

Good Morning! I have a Kenmore Microwave/Wall Oven Combo - model #790.47859403 - about 4 years old. This morning the microwave control panel display went out - time display/no buttons work & interior light is out. Checked the circuit breaker-turned off & on-no problems there. Oven display/controls work fine - no problem with the oven. Thoughts? Thank you in advance!

Hi,

A Frigidaire built kenmore.

This morning the microwave control panel display went out - time display/no buttons work & interior light is out.

Possible the internal fuse for the microwave let go...I found two...

Jeff - Thank you so much for your quick reply! Can you "guess-timate" what I'm looking at for repairs if it's the problem you cited? Second question is - if it's a Frigidaire built Kenmore - should I (would you) call a Frigidaire repair-person? I'm asking this because I was quoted $129 strictly for the service call and I would like to save money - like everyone - if possible. Suggestions?
Thank you so much!

Can you "guess-timate" what I'm looking at for repairs if it's the problem you cited?

Unit must come out to access! Can one person pull it out, need two people, ect....Fuse only listed for $30.00, switch and second fuse listed for $20.00
I guess labour and service ( will vary area to area ) $125-$200

if it's a Frigidaire built Kenmore - should I (would you) call a Frigidaire repair-person?

Either should be familier with the product.
Since it is a kenmore, might be better off with a Sears tech.

Thank you so much Jeff! I have Kenmore service scheduled for Tuesday - wish me luck! :-) I told my husband to think about the cost & appreciate each & everytime he reheats his coffee in the microwave! :shot:

Jeff - you were right on the money! :) The Kenmore service man just left - it was a fuse - (does have to be pulled out of the cabinet for service as you said!) service/parts/labor = $185.00

Until you gave me some advice, I was thinking it would be a lot worse - although $185 is a lot for a glorified coffee-warmer!

Thank you so much!
