Reply to comment by dougola in LPT: If your microwave dies, donate the glass tray before throwing out the appliance. Someone has broken theirs and will love finding it at a thrift store. by pioneertele

I guess that makes sense. I was just so happy to find a tray that perfectly fit at our local goodwill after ours broke. $2.99 saved me from breaking down and buying a new one, or worse yet new microwave.

Not everyone can afford to replace an appliance when it breaks

Save a little here and there and you can buy something you actually want to spend your money on.

So you would rather spend an additional 97.01 on a new microwave v. just getting the plate? Now I’m irresponsible with money but even I know that makes absolutely no sense

Over the counter microwaves can be several hundred dollars. The high end ones (with motorized vents and downward facing lights) are about $1000-$1500.

Replacing a broken tray is a lot cheaper if your microwave is a high end one.
