And that's a for an over the range unit, a good countertop one is $100. We use ours heavily to defrost and cook rice etc, they don't usually last more than 3-5 years. But I'm certain we put more hours on it than some people do in a decade.

I had a reputable guy (not local, sorry) look at a similar problem, and he quoted $400 to repair it. I got a new one for $205. So unfortunately for our throw-away society, what you've heard is correct.

You may want to check with Danilo Baez at his repair shop in downtown Jersey City:

Danilo TV Repair Shop
272 Newark Ave, Jersey City, NJ 07302
(201) 963-0778

He fixes several kinds of electric appliances besides TVs. Give him a call and inquire about microwave repairs, he might be able to help you.

Does anyone have a handyman / service that can help with a microwave repair.

I tried some searches online, but most of the appliance repair people in the area don't seem to fix microwaves (I am told it is usually cheaper to just replace them). I am pretty sure I just have a problem with the door switch / light and just need someone that knows how to fix these things to take a look and hopefully repair it.
