How long should a microwave last?
With the Sale of Goods Act and "fit for purpose" in the back of my mind,
what is a reasonable time for a microwave to last these days?
I bought a Panasonic T545WFQ new from John Lewis about two and a half
years ago, and it's started blowing fuses. After replacing the 13A fuse
(in the mains plug) the electronic display works OK, but as soon as I
press Start, the fuse blows. My guess is there is a fault either in the
turntable motor or in the magnetron circuitry somewhere.
The microwave has only had light domestic use, mainly for defrosting
rather than cooking.
Ideas anyone?
