Model: RR6W, P72110-4M
S/N: H56559799
1600 Watts
(I recently measured it as 1,480 watts when running empty.)
Mfg Date May, 1976.
failing after a few years of service.
My son bought me a new one a Christmas go, but it turned out to be
smaller and of Pacific Rim manufacture, so I gave it back to him to give to
somebody else. This Amana is still the war horse.
2- I like this size (over a cubic foot). I think I'd like another Amana... I
think Raytheon bought them out some years ago. The name is still around. I
looked up their web age, and several models are available . A cubic foot+
unit cost about $150 last year... It's in he back of my mind.
To keep my weight down, I eat a lot of salads; they require no cooking.
I cook soups from scratch and spaghetti & pastas with the u-wave. I eat very
little meat, mainly chicken, since red meats are heavy and affect my blood
pressure. I eat most anything on special occasions only.
(3-bedroom ranch, closed tight in the winter) that odiferate for hours
later... I eat meats mainly when eating out with friends.
The other son gave me a Forman burger grille. I only used it once. It
really smelled up the house . The range hood was not really of much help.
The Forman grille is best used outdoors.
Back to my Amana RR6W, my only hope to get display functioning back is
to identify the failed component (driver chip?), or replace the entire panel
module... both of which seem highly unlikely. This news group is about the
place I can find to even have an intelligent discussion on the matter. What
is needed is an old-timer that remembers the 7 digit LED display technology
of the '70's and also know the Amana microwave oven use of them.
Getting that circuit board out in the clear to work on it seems to be
nigh impossible. It is in place behind and parallel to the numbers panel.
But its back side is shielded over 2/3 its area with the power supply and
its heat sink. Numbers are on the top end. The bottom end is not in a
connector slot, but rather it's stationary with power supply bus wires and
switching relay control wires soldered in place.

OK, it's gotta be LED.
Set recently but again, but here again:

I'm looking for a human replacement, but so far no luck.

I cook soups from scratch and spaghetti & pastas with the u-wave. I eat very
little meat, mainly chicken, since red meats are heavy and affect my blood

Cooking, especially frying, sends all kinds of odors into the house
