Customer Question

My microwave makes a terrible grinding sound when I turn it on. I had caught popcorn in the oven and after that the turn table didn't go round. Do you think I burned something that finally wore out on the workings of the turn table? Should I try to have it fixed or replace the microwave? Is it dangerous? It is a 6 to 8 year old Amana Radarange microwave. Thank you.

I would like to get the piece you recommended and try to put it on before I "let you go". It is on order, so I assume I will have it within the next week. Is that OK? Do I put your bonus on when I "check out"?
