Microwave Oven

Put something in the microwave last night (house, not RV) hit the button for three minutes and when I checked it, it was still cold. I noticed what I thought was a little bit different sound coming from the microwave. My question is, would it be worth it to call a repairman or are they pretty much like VCR's now? If it breaks you just toss it and buy another? Thanks. P.S. It's probably at least ten years old.

    Whirlpool & KitchenAid use to but for now it's just Panasonic

    Been using ours for almost 2 yrs. Handy with the 'adjustable' power

  • Dometic convection/microwave less than 200.00 at Camping World.
  • Panasonic 1.6 cubic foot inverter 1250W microwave---about $140 at Walamrt
  • A new microwave would probably cost less than a basic service call, much less a repair.
