I better fill you in on something. Earlier this year we had a lightning storm. The refrigerator/freezer and microwave were both plugged in and once the shield fell, I checked the oven and found the top prong that held the shield in had been sheered off at its base. We figure the lightning did that damage and I was lucky the shield remained in for a while after that hit. We have a new microwave ordered to replace this one and I have no idea if it's a replacement of the same model or a different brand and model. I'll find out when it gets here. Thanks for your interest.
