Dardandec   32 #21 Posted April 14, 2020 On a safety point of view Patrica, I would just get a new one, don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure they loose their seal after a while, or it's certainly not as good as when it was new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
pattricia   575 #22 Posted December 14, 2020 My microwave is pretty old now but has always worked ok. Now and again the glass turntable refuses to revolve, then after awhile it will start up again. It’s now stopped again, and after taking it in and out of the microwave, it still won’t budge. What causes this ? Is it better to buy a new one ?
