Microwave in FC - Gardner Yeaw - 12-19-2006 12:04 My microwave krumped this weekend. It makes all the proper noises, but doesn't heat things up. It is a Thermador Thermonic model. Was this an option in '78 or was the old oven removed and replaced with the microwave? Anyway, I need to replace it and am looking for reccomendations, mainly in the 'might fit with no trouble' category. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Gardner 78FC33 Microwave in FC - Curt Sprenger - 12-19-2006 12:21 Gardner, I don't know about option, but our '74 had a convection/microwave oven. Here is a link to Thermador http://www.us-appliance.com/thmi.html Best thing to do is remove the old unit. Measure the space you have to work with. Start searching the Internet based on that space. I had to replace our unit two or three weeks ago. The new unit height/width is slightly less than the old one. Made for easy install. Internal cavity is about the same as the old unit.

I am wondering if I can just get the old one fixed. The new Thermador's are pretty far up there in price, and then adding a $200 trim kit as well kinda makes it too much for me.

I paid $483.80 out the door. I needed a new unit working in a couple days as I was leaving town so I did not shop this item. Fixing the old one is not worth it, and I doubt if it can be fixed. The new one has advantages over the old one...single button automatic features (POPCORN for one), greater cooking power, etc. So far so good. Is your unit the convection/microwave? They cost more than just a microwave. Curt Sprenger 1987 PT38 8V92 "MacAttack Racing" Anaheim Hills, Calif. Gardner Yeaw wrote: >Curt, > What unit did you purchase?

All stainless, fit the opening almost exactly & it has a built in toaster on the right side of the cabinet that does bagels, etc. All in for $150.00. Works great.

About another $25 matching the existing paneling (because it was only availlable in big sheets). Took about a week to replicate the factory trim plate (I'm no finnish carpenter), but it turned out near perfect. It has the automatic setting but is not a convection oven, nor was the original. I pipe clamped a screen over a related vent pipe to keep the bugs out and made certain that the microwave was secure in case of an accident. Added spray in foam at the same pipe where the seal was not good; the factory had broken some out when they installed the old microwave. Made sure the necessary vents were not blocked on the new microwave.

Is there a vent required for the toaster, or does the heat come out the front?

Mine is mounted on the wall with the cabinets & is secured underneath a small overhead. In my case, there is a blank wall behind the unit & heat can go up or down. The junction box for the 110 volt circuit is behind it too. Toaster does not need any separate venting. Pretty neat set up. Even has a crumb tray to make clean up a snap. No crumbs inside the toaster to deal with. Terry Neal Bozeman, MT 82PT40 74FC34 Gardner Yeaw wrote: > Terry, > Thanks, that one is very close to the current size unit.
