Wow, $1500 for two $12 valves and a mw/convection oven that would be way less than $500? Total replacement time of about an hour? Two if you're slow and have cold beer nearby. I'm surprised that they approved the sticky valves since that is a wear item and not a sudden breakage.
Aftermarket warranties by a third party usually don't pay in the long run. And don't forget to call and get approval before having any work done. They love denying payment due to failure to obtain prior approval.
. The Convection Microwave, best price at Lowes for this GE model is $1100. Install required lifting (it's too heavy for one person) and re-drilling the mounting holes in the over range cabinet bottom. Cutting through the bottom corroplast in the correct place, removing and replacing the two valves (which are cable operated) took the RV tech two hours, then properly replacing the insulation and repairing the corroplast. Well worth the $100 it cost me. With no insurance, another $1400. Still, as I said earlier it's a coin toss, but if you're full time like we are, this stuff is used constantly and extended coverage may pay off.
