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? -- Ian |
