I'm looking for information and advice on repairing a Sharp microwave, my first Sharp was model R-411CWC, it lasted just over 8 years before it died, my current Sharp is a model R-316F (S) U. it's still running perfectly on it's 15th year of daily use, in looking for it's modern version it seems the old school Sharp microwaves are a thing of the past but I would like to stick with Sharp. my question is, when this one eventually dies are parts available to keep this old beast going?

Most parts for the 316 are currently available. High failure parts are mostly interchangeable. Just depends on the issue you encounter.

Thanks Wx4usa that's excellent, are there service manuals for repair/troubleshooting for microwaves available to the public?

I don’t see a manual. There should be a tech sheet inside the unit.
