We bought our Quasar Microwave circa 1985. It still works like a charm!

I thought I was the only person on earth still using a Quasar microwave! Wow!!
I am sure mine is about 30 yrs old now, and working like the 1st day I had it. I don’t even think it was new when I got it! I have not even had to change the lightbulb! It is big and has no turntable, but nowhere on it could I find the power output. Any ideas?
What a product!!!!

Looking for Manual for my Quasar Over the Range Microwave Model # MQ9968W. Can’t seem to find it now that I need it. I find that you can buy them for $15.99 but I hated to pay that kind of money. I was hoping someone had one that I could buy for less money.
Same thing happened to me as to many of you where you were using it; it beeped then completely went out on Christmas Day too when I needed it. No rhyme or reason. It was made June 1990. I took out the interior and the exterior light bulbs to see if they were blown and they weren’t. Took off the push panel but couldn’t find any IN LINE FUSE that someone mentioned it might be. Any help where it is????
I’m forced to fix this one because it’s only 14″ in the front with the slope down to 16″ in the back which works for us because our ceiling is low in the kitchen.
I went on line and put in Quasar MQ9968W and found AMI Resources which is an appliance parts resource. I printed out the parts lists. Can’t find where the Capacitor is that #97 Chris had mentioned. Don’t know what I’m looking for. Any help on this? HELP !!!!

I have a very old insta matic that I got from a friend and I cannot figure out how to set the clock and nothing else works without it and she says that she hasn’t used it in ages and can’t remember. Can anyone help?

The story is not “hog wash.” The child, who is now 22 years old, was born with a full head of hair. The event in the story occurred about six weeks after she was born, so he hair was even longer then. I don’t have any digital images of her that young, so you’re just going to have to trust me on this.

Why would I make up something like that anyway?

Years ago I decided to clean out my Quazar and it wasn’t so hard. You need a fairly large surface to put it on. Then you remove the screws from the edges and a couple at trhe back and lift the outside case off. The you can get to the insides to replace things. It is fairly modular.

For many years, I’ve been wanting to get one of those counter top ovens that you can bake and broil with. This cotton picking Quazar microwave I got in 1984 is really annoying me. It is used often everyday and and nothing will go wrong with it.

I too have a Quasar microwave – I bought it in 1981 – it is still working very well (knock on wood) and we joke that it is older than my son – I just love it and have been very happy with it for 27 years now!!! Wow!!
