Mark and Dale Bruss Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 They are all going to have the same issues. First make sure the installation is tight. Often the rear track that the unit sits on, the uinits is not tight. Second, the turntable and wire racks need to be stored outside the unit.

Barbaraok Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Or pad the rack/turntable so they don't move. Perfect place to carry light weight items like paper plates, loaf of bread, dish towels/pot holders, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gypsies Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Are you sure it's not the turntable rattling? Remove it when traveling....cheaper than buying a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgiaHybrid Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Cut a length of foam swimming "noodle" that fits vertically between the turntable plate and the top of the microwave. It will keep it from bouncing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaDawg Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Thanks for the replies everyone, but our turntable and rack is always removed and stored for travel. My DW has been closing the door on a dish towel in an attempt to stop the door from rattling, which seemed to help a little with the noise, but it appears something internal is rattling.Hence the need for advice on purchasing a new unit...

Mike and Claudia Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 We replaced ours about 4 years ago. YIKES! It is HEAVY, the space is limited and you MUST fit it into the exact space, otherwise it turns from a minimum project into a new cabinet job. We searched the net until we found an exact match. It happened to be from NY City, but that didn't matter since it was Free Shipping! We had a "warranty plan" and they demanded that we get out an RV Tech to take it out to make a "professional decision" on the problem. I took pictures as he removed it, thus it wasn't SO hard to replace it. The big blessing was that the "back plate" that the MW hung on was an exact match to the old one, so we just cleaned and reused the old one. It was hard and heavy, but we manged for the two of us squeezed in and hang it. Wala! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nana25k Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Ours is the original 16 year old Sharp ( well as far as we know) and it rattled. Some simple investigation showed that the bottom left corner if the control panel, above the door open latch was loose. Who knew it could make sdo much noise!!! A little black electric tape, because it matches and easy to install, solved the issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
