I have a Sanyo domestic microwave oven approximately 8 years old that
still functions all right. The problem is that the floor of the oven
on which the glass turntable rotates on its spindle is rusted
through
in one or two places. The turntable still rotates okay, but if the
floor is left to rust through further, sooner or later the little
carrier wheels that support the turntable will get trapped and the
turntable will lock up or something.

How could I repair the base of the oven? I have thought of Kurust
first, followed by a layer of epoxy resin soaked fibreglass from
Halfords. Any other ideas? It seems daft to buy a new microwave if
the
actual heating feature works fine.


Your problem is any repair is going to have to be 'invisible' to the
microwaves, otherwise you will cook your repair along with your ready
meals, not only that but if the microwaves get deflected and your door
seal is not 100 percent you might also cook yourself!

Quite frankly, whilst I know that this is a DIY group, with new
microwaves being circa 50 UKP in the supermarkets....
