| Mar 27, 2023 at 18:52 | comment | converted from answer | manassehkatz-Moving 2 Codidact | How old is the oven? My 9-year-old microwave oven had a latch problem a few days ago. I put it on the curb to be hauled away and should have the replacement soon. Beyond poking at it from the outside, I decided that due to the risk of a problem (currently it doesn't latch properly and while the controls work the oven will not turn "on", so 100% safe) and the age, not worth trying to tear apart and repair. But that's a $250 2.2 cu ft countertop. If your oven is more of a "built in", or of course if it is newer, then the equation may be a bit different. Key is whether you can get parts. So: * Ho | |
