I don't have any suggestions, but will look at the one at work Wednesday when I am back in the office, because it gets lots of use and has held up well. And it is a more recent buy.

Another reason for me to respond here is to see if anyone has suggestions, since my microwave was bought in 1980 and is still working, except that the light is burned out. Who cares. But I keep thinking that one day, it will die and I will be up shit creek, like you seem to be now.
