Hi folks. Fairly certain my next action is to get it serviced, but figured I'd run it by the fine folks here. I wasn't there when it happened but apparently it went down like this. Highpoint microwave. Wifey just finished cooking on convection at around 400; very shortly after put a microwave safe plate in to reheat something and around 15 seconds in she heard a loud-ish pop and it stopped working. No power; no blown fuse; no issues with any other electronics, etc. We were running on campground power and no issues there. Any suggestions are appreciated. thanks

I assume by no blown fuse you mean all your circuit breakers are on? Sometimes its hard to see that so you might try resetting them (off then back on). If not then see if you can find where the microwave is plugged in. Unplug it then check that that outlet works running something else. Then plug the micro back in and try it again.

If none of that works you will have to pull out the microwave or have someone do that for you. I don't think anyone will service it, just replace it so you could do that yourself if you wanted.

I've heard complaints about the highpoint micro before. Could be a bad one.
