I had to use the microwave as an oven at Thanksgiving. Unfortunately the microwave started to make a funny noise after about two months, GE had to send out a repairman to replace a part. For this kind of money, it should work right away!  The dial on the microwave turns the opposite way of what makes sense for me. I wish I could reprogram it so that I can turn it the other direction to increase the time on the microwave. The control panel controls the microwave and the oven. If something happens to the microwave, I’ll have to replace the whole unit.
