Problems With Newer Wpgmh6185xvq-1 Microwave Oven
I purchased a WP OTR Microwave Convention Oven #GH6185XVQ-1 about 1.5 years ago. All functions are still working except the microwave does not heat (fan & controls still run though). I am extremely disappointed that this appliance has failed just outside of the 1 year warranty. I thought I was buying a quality product choosing Whirlpool. Is this just a fluke or lemon? What could be the problem in this short of a time? Is it a component that could be fixed under warranty?
Please help! The serial number is TRY4610655.
Thank you.
