Thread: worked one minute and not the next

Model Number: TMV151FB

Brand: Tappan

Age: 1-5 years

Last night I put in a covered tupperware vegetable cooker with water in the bottom, heated it up for 2 minutes, pulled it out - put the broccoli in, put the container back in the microwave, closed the door, set the fresh veggie button for 3 servings, pushed start and the whole microwave went out. I have tried unplugging, I checked the circuit breaker.

I was so angry since 3 weeks ago the oven went out and I still haven't found anyone to fix it for me at a price I can afford that I slammed the door shut. The lights all came back on!! OK, I reset the time, pushed start and it went off again. If I slam the door a little the lights in the display window will flicker on but then go right back off.

The microwave was a gift from my son and he bought the extended warranty we are looking for the receipt but I am pretty sure he bought it in Dec 2008 and it was a 2 yr extended meaning the warranty probably just expired this past December. I am really having a bad run of luck lately with my appliances! The microwave about 3 yrs old, the oven about 8 yrs old. Knock on wood, my 23 yr old Whirlpool fridge is running just fine!

Thanks for any help or advice!
