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:http://repairfaq.org/sam/micfaq.htm

sorry my fan does run... at first it doesnt then after a a min or so
it kicks in, and will run anywhere from 30 sec to a couple of min
after im done with it


If it's a convection, it'll have two fans, one to blow air around the inside
of the oven, and one to cool the transformer and uwave tube.

Did you already open up the unit to verify that the transformer/tube fan is
running?

i did not know it had two,... would the inside one run after you have
stopped the timer for a cool down mode ?
if it matters im only using the normal function not the convection
settings
is there a easy way to tell wich one is running ..
