Repair or replace?
Microwaves typically last about 8–10 years. Service documentation for this platform dates from about 2020, so the oldest units built on it are now around 6 years old. The age printed in the serial number, the repair cost and the condition of the rest of the appliance decide it. Use the repair-or-replace guide.
Models built on the same platform
These models share this platform's service documentation, so fault codes and most diagnostic steps are the same.
