Default Parts for Ewave Microwave Oven?

These types of microwave ovens are not supported for service. They are
"throw-always". Whenever modeling a kitchen for appliances, it is normally
done in a way to have the dimensions fitted to be able to accommodate the
range of available sizes. It looks like you will most likely have to get
another microwave oven, and do some modifications to the modeling, or find
one that fits, even if it is a little smaller.

If you venture in to a microwave oven, take care about the high voltage.
Even after the unit is shut down, there can be serious high voltage stored
in the main capacitor for the tube. As for the logic control board, the
voltages on that should not be lethal, except from the primary side of the
switching power supply.

I am guessing that we know someone here that will be getting some of his
kitchen redone...

We have an Ewave (Daewoo/Magic Chef) KOT-152UW microwave oven purchased
at Home Depot. The touchpad is getting flakey and I have been trying to
locate a parts vendor without much success.

I'd appreciate any recommendations. Thank you.

(Yeah, I realise the touchpad may cost as much as a new oven but I
practically remoodeled the kitchen to fit this thing in.)
