Product review (1 stars): Stuck with a bad 27" microwave?
Almost seven years ago, I bought a complete 27" Thermador microwave and oven built in combo (S1MCC).  Within the last three years, we had to replace the controller/display twice and the oven door hinges once for a total bill of $1200.  Now the microwave oven is not working anymore and Thermador insists that I need to replace the entire unit for a "special price" of more than 4K.  What adds insult to injury is that they only make now a unit that has, in addition, a warmer drawer necessitating a cabinet redo.  REALLY? Themador?, I payed several thousand dollars for a premium brand that is utterly unreliable and now I have to redo the kitchen?.  Well, I found a way to replace the microwave alone with a Panasonic (NN-SD997S) that looks great and fits perfectly.  Panasonic actually makes the microwaves for themador so there!. You have to take the faceplate and holding screws out slide the old microwave out of the cabinet.  Within half an hour you can slide the new one in.  I have to make a legal/safety disclaimer here because I cannot guarantee that this solution will work for everybody but for me it saved me several thousand dollars.....look it up and ask your local dealer/repairman.
