Dead Sharp Microwave

[JaneNLee]

Does anyone know where or what substitution I can buy to replace a Sharp Carousal Convection Microwave Combo . Present model is a 1994 Model R7A85.
Inside of door cracked glass.

Thanks for all you answers to help.

Happy RVing

That Glass should be replaceable.

I called sears and they sent a repairman out for $80 and he found a $20 switch that was bad. 20 years old is pretty old though.

I've Never seen a 36" wide residential MW
Our new one, well three years old, is 29.5" , the cabinet opening is 30" wide
Every MW in the store was 30" or less
The one that died was a 1995 model and 29.75" wide

Thanks for your help

when our GE over the range top convection/MW died

i went to Home Depot and bought a replacement

they are all the same size within a fraction of an inch width

depth and height can vary, but they will all fit in the same hole under the cabinet..over the range

all come with a NEW mounting bracket

Not all microwaves are the same width. The one that came in our Avion Platinum was 30" NOT 36".

Not so easy to find so I modified the cabinet and installed a Sharp.

If you like your microwave these people may have the replacement part.

Jim, I had to laugh. The matching trim kit cost more than the MW! Nice looking unit.

I saw that after I posted the link. I almost choked. Hopefully, her existing trim will work.

In the last 8 years I replaced mine twice.

One online through Walmart

One online through Home Depot

The first one was the exact original model,
the second one was an updated model.

Measure, match and switch. It's an easy process, and the original hardware was usable.

Thanks Jim I will check it out. And it did last 20 years- 4 of them full timing.
Thank you for your help.

Will be driving from Vegas to Illinois soon- will toot for you as we go thru Tucson.

Thanks again for everything. Your profile is great nice truck and 5th wheel.

Happy Rving

Wow - It lasted 20 years. That's great.

I did a little research for you.

Your model measures 20-1/2" Wide, 12" High, and 18-1/8" Deep.

I found an inverter microwave on Amazon with nearly the same height and width, but a little less deep which shouldn't be a problem.

Panasonic Microwave

It is 20-3/8" Wide, 11-7/8" Tall, and 15-5/16" deep.

Nah it's not built in. There are dozens of replacements out there. Just look for an over the range microwave. Home Depot, Lowes have many that would work...
