Hi All,
I'm clueless where to search for the type of person who could repair this. We moved to our Chicago home about a year ago, but the kitchen has been updated - about 2 years old. For some reason the microwave is no longer heating - everything else though seems to be working. Can anyone recommend someone who can figure out what's wrong with it? Or a suggestion on what may be wrong?
Thanks!

It is usually cheaper to buy a new microwave than to fix an old one.
We had a problem with our microwave that was only 6 months old. I called the (800) customer service number in the manual, and since ours was so new it was fixed for free. Even if it won't be free, they'll give you a name/address/phone number of a repair shop closest to your home. If you didn't keep the manual, check on the microwave door, and if that fails, use the internet!
Good Morning ,
I persoanlly wouldnt invest in repairing the microwave ,I would just go by a new one .

The door latch on our microwave broke years ago. We called the manufacturer and found out where it could be repaired. It would have been only $20 or so to buy a new one, but we figured that since the microwave was practically new we would repair it rather than have it end up in a landfill. It still works great 5 years later. If it is no longer heating, it might be the heating element, which probably has a lifetime warranty.
After trying the manufacturer, maybe try ABT. I can't think what suburb it is in, but we used them--them being an appliance store where you can bargin with the sales people--but anyways, we used them when we got struck by lightening and our TV was blown out. We just took the TV there and then they will give you a free estimate. We kept it in our head the price we were willing to pay and if it was below, we'd fix it, if not buy a new one. Turned out to be a 50 dollar issue.
Good Luck
