hello, just joined hoping to find some help, i have a 1.1 oster
convection microwave and for some reason if it runs more the 5 min it
cuts out and i have to wait 30-40 min then it comes back on. the
clock needs to be reset everytime, even if there is a pause inbetween
i can run it for 2 and a half min stop it wait a min then 3 mins and
it will cut out before its done.


The internal fan no longer functions, the unit overheats, and the
inline thermostat opens the circuit.

You either need a new fan, or you need to find out why your current
fan no longer functions.

Before opening the unit up, *please* read and heed the following
document, paying close attention to the safety warnings:

I think newer MW's have a schematic included inside the cabinet.
the last one I opened up did,in an envelope.It had all the servicing info.
BTW,it also used security TORX screws to secure the cabinet.
