That's how long most car companies make parts for a car, isn't it? Past a
certain point, it becomes cheaper to replace something rather than fix it. If
the OP were able to find the necessary parts, they'd end up having sunk
significant money into the microwave and still have an eleven year old unit.
Maybe something else is getting ready to crap out next month.

Most electronics are more capable today and/or cheaper than what was available
ten years ago. As a point of reference, I paid $1400 for two satellite (second
generation Sony) receivers for my parents many years ago. Last year I replaced
them for about $50 each... and the newer ones are much smaller and do more.
