This "over the range" microwave oven was fine for almost a year, then it went from bad to worse and now I have to buy a different one. The bulbs kept burning out, even after replacing with a lower wattage. Then, a part which cost quite a bit had to be replaced and the warranty did not cover it, so we ended up paying for the labor as well and spent an additional $259.00. Once it was fixed, the bulbs kept going out and the final straw was when I was replacing bulbs for the 50th time, that it blew a fuse or something because a small explosion happened, with puffs of smoke coming from the bulb area. Now the lights won't come on at all on either side. The wattage may be compromised since the explosion, I can still warm things up in it, but it sounds like a small motor engine rumbling and that it will explode at any given moment. We have put too much time and energy into this microwave and will be purchasing a new one this summer, if it lasts that long. I would recommend to anyone that when purchasing a Sears Kenmore Microwave, DO NOT consider this particular microwave!!
