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

Best do some research. With the make and model information available
check sites like RepairClinic.com for availability and pricing. From
there you'll have a better idea. That site also gives guidance on the
ease of various repairs.
