Equipment Burning Out
I've had to replace 5 new combi ovens. The microwave part of the oven burns out but the actual oven and grill remain in good working order. Could this be caused by faulty wiring that somehow damages the microwave but not the entire oven? I'm desperate to get to the root of this problem as I can't afford to keep replacing my combi ovens the last two of which were Kupperbusch and Hotpoint. Also worried that the wiring might be unsafe. Thank you
