High Pointe Microwave/Convection Oven - Event Date: 25 Mar 2018 - 25 Apr 2018

Need some advice on my oven as listed in title.  I have a 2016 Pod and this weekend while camping with shore power, the oven started acting up.  When off and the door is closed, the light stays on and the glass plate turns.  I can set the clock time and power level, but the oven will not set the cook time nor will it come on when I push the start button.  Any advice on what might be wrong.  It is about 2 weeks past warranty time(just my luck).  Thought I might remove it from the camper tomorrow, bring it is house and see if it will come on.  I know that I have to be careful as these things can give a strong punch of voltage, even while unplugged.  I know there is a fuse in there somewhere, but I would assume if the fuse was bad, the oven would not do anything at all.  If I cannot find anything wrong, i will probably just junk it and will be looking for a good replacement.  Can any of you out there in pod land recommend a good replacement that will fit in the same slot as the high pointe?  Any advice will be appreciated.

Originally posted by StephenH As for replacements, you could look for a straight microwave if you don't use the convection part. That would likely cost less. Look for one that will fit the opening. If you want the convection oven part, then you may be stuck with getting another HighPointe.

There are lots of choices besides HighPointe these days. As for finding one that will fit in the space, it might be another matter. Here is a top ten list. Interestingly, the HighPointe is not on the list.

+1 to Furpod. HPs are built for RV and mobile applications They are UL/CSA certified to over the road specifications. Basically designed to withstand vibration over the home use.

+1 Theres the answer! Happened to me 1 time. I took the micro out for something else and after remounting it hasn't happened since.

Thanks for all of your replies.   Found my problem.  The switches on the door were not making as mentioned above.  Added a couple of layers of heavy duty duct tape to the contact switches and now all is well and working fine.  Talked to High Pointe early in the process this morning and they told me to pitch it and they would send me another one for $250 plus $50 shipping.  No way was I going to buy another High Pointe.  This one is only just over a year old.  Do, started looking and found the problem.  Thanks again fellow ponders.  Problem solved.
