We have a GE built-in microwave above the range and all of a sudden the
cooking times needed to heat food have drastically increased. Is it
possible for a microwave to gradually wear out? This unit is only 7 yrs
old. I was under the impression, they either heated or didn't, and didn't
think there was an in-between.

Anyway to check it?
Any thoughts?

Tired of 10 minute, lukewarm leftovers!

Thanks,

You're positive the power level is set to full? The reason I state
this is because it happened to me on a GE ...so I'm not calling you
stupid unless I include myself in that :-). Some have a defrost
button, etc. Mine did not and finding the power level setting was not
so obvious.
