They ALWAYS fail shortly after warranty.

Look what they say about it.

The graph shows the percentage of the following brands of over-the-
range (OTR) microwave ovens bought between 2003 through 2007 that have
ever been repaired or had a serious problem. Differences of less than
3 points are not meaningful. KitchenAid has been the most-repair prone
brand. While we lacked enough data for all years to include Sharp in
the chart, we have sufficient data to conclude that it has been a
repair-prone brand. Models within a brand may vary, and changes in
design or manufacture may affect reliability. Still, choosing a brand
with a good repair history can improve your odds of getting a reliable
model.

I must have been very lucky. I have 3 Sharp Carousels in different
locations. One twenty years old, one eight years old & one two years
old. Have not had one thing go wrong with any of them thankfully.
