Lew Said: (On the Invisible Chamois thread, good grief): Right in the middle of preparing our Sunday dinner the microwave/convection oven kept shutting down.
Rather than trying to run down the problem, I think the time has come to replace it. It was made in 1989, so do you agree?
I have looked up the combo oven on line and would like some of you guys to have some input for I would be remiss if I didn't ask the masterminds.
I presently have a Sharp Carousel Microwave/Convection and the bride uses it a lot. The measurements have been standard ever since the original one was put in. I located a GE at Home Depot for about $329. Do you foresee me having any problems with putting that in place of the sharp? Will the vent hook up the same? Would it hang the same way the original does? I could pay a lot more and am not afraid to if necessary. I have looked at the more expensive ones and there is very little difference in them. The wattages are more than the original. The original is 650 watt and the GE is 850.
Just a little help would be nice. Must act on it soon. Thanks

We're more than just a little mad at Sharp right now. Put a mini-popcorn bag in on auto time and it melted (fire ensuing) the plastic drive wheel under the turntable. They wouldn't stand behind it and just got a bunch of blah-blah-blah out of them.
Anyway, what we found was that Sharp indeed is the industry leader in RV convection ovens. The GE appliances are of varying quality, selling their products under a bunch of different names and different quality levels.
The Sharp units we looked at had standard mounting brackets and for over-the-stove applications are interchangeable with standard dimensions; just a swap. Both electric and vent connections are on the dime.
Recommendation: Take out the inop unit and bring it with you to Lowe's or Home Depot and check it out before you lug it back to your bus. Less frustration.
You can pick up your new Moen while there and put it on Mango's plastic. Y'know, just like always.
