What is a replacement microwave for the Sharp Carousel II model R-9H81. I currently have this built-in oven and need to replace it with one of the same dimensions. Thanks.

I really doubt that you can even get parts.

Manuals Lib has the Operation manual for the Sharp Carousel II R-5870 here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/987690/Sharp-Carousel-Ii-R-8570.html . If you want to download a copy of the manual, click on the Download button near the top left of the page.

I hope this helps.

Turn table does not turn , sharp convection microwave R-9H84B
Can I fix this myself? or do I need to have it serviced?

The problem maybe the magnetron, or the inverter board if 7 years old or less, and possibly the keypad control board, by the time you add parts and labour cheaper to replace the microwave oven in the long run.

Check with www.microwaveglasstrays.com (Martin Microwave Inc.) 1-877-894-0035

The original replacement tray (Sharp part # NTNT-0048MRF0) has been out of production for years and nothing else will fit, however, Martin may have a used replacement. If they don't have it, no one will!

There are a couple of safety thermostats in the oven to shut down power if something overheats. One is on the magnetron tube (the microwave source), the other is on the cooking cavity. These sometimes go bad. There's also a power line fuse that may have failed, or become loose in its mounting clips. These can be tested with an ohmmeter; they should all measure very close to zero ohms if they're good.

Another possibility is that the control circuit board in the oven may have failed. I have worked on several Sharp ovens where the power transformer for the board has gone bad for no good reason. If the board goes bad the oven may appear to be dead as well.

Microwave servicing is best left to professionals. If you're thinking of keeping this one, take it to a service shop (or call for home service) and get an estimate. Then decide whether to repair or replace.

Hope this has helped a little. Thanks for using Fixya!

Unit heat syncs and rotor is not working due to high voltage

Check or replace your door switch.

Replacement keypads for the R-9H-series of microwave ovens are no longer available.

So for as long as you can get by with the oven like it is, go ahead, but the only solution id to replace it with a new model.

You can contact Sharp at 1-800-BE-SHARP (1-800-237-4277) or visit them online for current equivalent models.

Sorry I can't bring better news.

We're happy to help and we appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

The question is... Do you want to put money on a 18year MW, or put it towards a new one? I must admit I love the SHARP Combo MW Convection ovens. I own two. One is almost 25years old. The mechanical Timer Type, but they work great and I can maintain them with 30years ef exrerience. I am now retired.
It does sound like the Magnetronhas broken down, however it could be other things in the Secondary (High Voltage Side). The High Voltage Side is made up of the Secondary HV side of the High Voltage Transformer, A High Voltage Diode, a High Voltage Capacitor, and the Magnetron. The High Voltage Side is DANGEROUS, and CAUTION should be taken to protect yourself against EXTREME HIGH VOLTAGE. unplug from power and DISCHARGE High Voltage Capaciton to frame GROUND before touching anything!!!!
