An appliance repair tech told me that built-in microwave ovens are good for about 3 years regardless of the brand or price. Counter top units are 10+ years. If you've got an older unit hang on to it.
I had a GE do the keep running until the door was open routine. I replace it with a Samsung and it had control panel issues that did the same thing. The panel is fairly cheap online and easy to replace. Make notes-you'll be doing it again in a couple years. Extended warranties are OK but expect to wait several weeks for a tech to come out and then a few more weeks for them to come back to install the part.

BTW, I thought this was a thread about British automobile electronics and wiring. Maybe built in microwaves are all built by Lucas?
