They ALWAYS fail shortly after warranty.

Not true, mine failed WAY before the warranty was up! G

Actually, mine was an assembly problem. The flex circuit contact pad
underneath the 4 little jellybean-sized exterior buttons was
misaligned, causing the pressing of the Start button to be a very hit-
or-miss proposition. Flex circuit pad replaced and correctly aligned
under warranty.

I'm still waiting for the infamous post-warranty-display-failure.

The problem with Sharp warranty service is that it's difficult to find
a repair shop that will fix them under warranty. Out of the 5 or 6
warranty service providers listed on the Sharp website for the Phoenix
area, I only found 1 that would do microwave warranty service.
Comments from the other shops indicated that they had big problems
getting paid by Sharp for warranty work.
