I have a microwave that just died...the control board is dead.

I have had this microwave for a number of years and suspect I could
wire a substitute for the controller...likely a timer.

So is this microwave worth saving?

I note that the new ones look like they have been "valued engineered"
to where they may not be the best for the long run.

Your opinion?

Thanks

No its not worth fixing, you can get a new unit cheaper they are not
built as well but what is.


Agreed, it's not worth fixing. We bought a medium size Panasonic for
around $129 that has more power and more useful and practical bells and
whistles than any previous unit we've owned. We've had this one since
2000. It's in frequent daily use and shows no signs of giving up the
ghost.
