Bad quality, poor temperature control, July 27, 2009reasonable and worth every penny, July 8, 2009Microwave started on fire!, February 25, 2009I bought this item 4-5 years ago and a few days ago, when I was defrosting something in it, it started on fire. The fire burnt a hole in the metal plate on the right side. We immediately removed the unit… so that it wouldn't start a fire in our home. I called Sharp to let them know and they said that I would have to take the microwave to an authorized dealer and have them check it out. I was told that sometimes there is a build up of food on the metal plate which might have been the cause of the fire. The nearest dealer is 15 miles away!! They would not replace it and put all the responsiblity on me! This is terrible customer service. I'm buying a different brand this time. Will not do business with Sharp again!
