For $150 delivered you can buy any number of good quality two cubic
foot microwave ovens. You'll pay that much just for a service call.

Welcome to the disposable society.

Just out of warranty 2.2 cubic foot Genius microwave just quit. (2+
years)
Pad and clock works, but when it powers on to cook. it makes a buzzing
noise about 5 seconds in and shuts off, no ding.
Made in China crap.....
I realize the magnetron has a 5 year warranty but it's the labor that
get you .....
Worth fixing?
Cheers Dave

Mine died too. $2 MOV that blew it's guts out. It took out a heat sink
mounted component which I currently can't ID (it's sitting on the heatsink
besides the chopper and the Schottkys).

I'm not a microwave fix it guy (but not for lack of effort)--but is the
magnetron cooling fan working--can you hear it running?--perhaps its
hungup, resulting in a thermal switch overheating and shutting down the
unit after 5 seconds of run time.
