Sharp Microwave spare
Been searching Google for Sharp microwave spares (Model R-254M) to no
avail. All I can find are what I would term consumables. What I need is the display panel, the current one works very intermittently, and at other times just displays the odd bit. Anyone any ideas please? TIA -- Please do not reply by Email, as all emails to this address are automatically deleted. |

I've had excellent service from http://www.charleshyde.co.uk Just checked their site and they don't seem to have the display panel: http://www.chsinteractive.co.uk/site...MIC& product= ....but they may be worth a call. -- PeterMcC If you feel that any of the above is incorrect, inappropriate or offensive in any way, please ignore it and accept my apologies. |

Thanks for that Peter, but unfortunately they will not supply parts that need cover removal to peasants like me! I suspect that may be true of all suppliers, so I will have to pay through the nose for a 15 minute job. -- Please do not reply by Email, as all emails to this address are automatically deleted. |

Do make sure you understand exactly why a microwave is hazerdous. They have more parts available if you ring them than online. |

I would be interested to know if they do a display panel - I rather suspect not (but I'm too lazy to look (even if I am now the proud possessor of the 2005 catalogue)) -- geoff |

CPC as someone has suggested, but microwave repairs are rarely worthwhile. Also working on microwave appliances needs great care these device can actually kill you (cf only the theoretical possibility with all other kit). They have both enough volts to leap out and push amps through you. The microwaves are inside a metal box they surprisingly are not the issue, if the box becomes open (e.g. the door) the fuse blows. -- Ed Sirett - Property maintainer and registered gas fitter.

My gut feeling is you are banging your head against a brick wall. You would probably pay almost as much for a new display (If you COULD get one) as you would for a new microwave -- geoff |

together this: My gut feeling is you are banging your head against a brick wall. Aren't we all? You would probably pay almost as much for a new display (If you COULD get one) as you would for a new microwave That's what I would've thought. CPC do state in their catalogue though, and I quote, "SHARP - CPC - can offer customers ALL Sharp original spares; most are available from stock" Might be worth a call. (I thought my 'L' key was broken then but then I realised I was pressing the 'A' key so that's why a was coming up and not l). -- SJW A.C.S. Ltd |

Huh - my kbd suffered an attack of Chimay the night before last Last night was spent pulling it apart and washing all the works. If I'd posted last night an "L" would look like LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLL -- geoff |
