hello, just joined hoping to find some help, i have a 1.1 oster
convection microwave and for some reason if it runs more the 5 min it
cuts out and i have to wait 30-40 min then it comes back on. the clock
needs to be reset everytime, even if there is a pause inbetween i can
run it for 2 and a half min stop it wait a min then 3 mins and it will
cut out before its done.


The internal fan no longer functions, the unit overheats, and the inline
thermostat opens the circuit.


You either need a new fan, or you need to find out why your current fan no
longer functions.


Before opening the unit up, *please* read and heed the following document,
paying close attention to the safety warnings:http://repairfaq.org/sam/micfaq.htm

sorry my fan does run... at first it doesnt then after a a min or so
it kicks in, and will run anywhere from 30 sec to a couple of min
after im done with it


I have a neighbor that had a microwave/convection oven that he was
having problems with. His wife was gone for the weekend and he was
struggling to fend for himself. When I went over he was trying to heat
up a foil wrapped casserole using the uWave mode. For the rest of the
weekend he either ate with us or sent out.
