On the timer/clock display of our several year old Sharp microwave
oven some parts of the digits have stopped displaying. The oven
continues to work just fine it's just that sometimes you have
trouble telling how much cooking time is remaining because only
part of the numerals are showing, for example, a zero looks like a
seven (think about it, it makes sense). Even though they are
cheap these days I'd really hate to purchase a new microwave that
is cooking just fine. My question is this: does any electrical
expert out there consider this to be a fire hazard, a dangerous
short of some kind? Thank you very much.


It's a good excuse to buy a Panasonic! That's what I'm doing.


About six months ago we bought a Panasonic with "inverter
technology", automatic "turbo" defrost and cook, and 1350 watts
power. We love it! The only feature I miss in our previous GE
over-the-range unit is the temperature probe. I used the probe for
heating liquids to just the right temperature for yeast breads.

Oh, BTW, we purchased a medium-sized unit due to counter space. I
wish we could have fitted in the full-size model!

Yup, the inverter technology is why I want it. Now I just have to
figure out whether the sensor is worth ca 60 more dollars.
Probably not.

IMHO, yes.
