American Microwave Failure

RAH

We had our KitchenAid microwave convection oven fail yesterday, probably due to the 50-hz over here. The circuit breaker is fine since the receptical for the coffee maker is ok, but there is no power to the unit. Everything is dark.

Anywhere to get one of these 110v things fixed? It is a built in with hood, about USD 889 on the web, so fixing is in MY interest. Otherwise we will have to order one from the States, plus shipping, plus VAT Crying or Very sad

I want to call my good and trusty friend, Karl, at KJS, but he probably will not pick up the phone after reading my posting Smile

Replies welcome!

I couldn't find anywhere to get mine fixed so replaced it with UK 240 volt one.

I believe Linda @ Stateside Tuning can help with a new 110 volt one though.

Hi,

you may want to give Duncan a call he should be able to help with a fix

sorry I can't repair microwave ovens but I may be able to obtain a replacement, I recently shipped a pair of apollo half time ovens for two customers, what are the details and model number of your microwave?

Hello there,

I am a qualified to repair Microwaves. I do not bother with 110v as it is bad enough trying to get 240v parts.

There is a place in Manchester (Chorlton) that does do them. I do not have the number to hand and I cannot find them on the web. They are called "Manchester Microwave Centre".

If not try sending some email enquiries to local or national Engineers on here....

Thanks for all the replies! I am going to call around and see.

The microwave is a KitchenAid KHMC107E. This is the 30" wide built-in model with a hood and vent. The coach is 8 years old and is 110v since we are only touring in Europe until September. Nothing on the KitchenAid site seems the right dimensions though:

(WxHxD): 29 7/8" x 16" x 13 7/8"

When we shipped an auxilary air compressor over that went duff, we paid USD 350 for the compressor, USD 106 for shipping and GBP 54 for duty. Cannot put a 220v one in since we have no 220v power onboard.

Hope I am not teaching granny to suck eggs, but you do realise that all of €urope is 235V and NOT 110V?

Heylo,

As far as I am aware, Most of Europe has been standardised @ 240V -/+ 10% for years. France many many moons ago used to be 110v in remote areas. Spain well there you go, do they all have electricty now?

Hi Trev,

Oh well guess I am living in the dark ages or at least the various region's dark ages!
