No, I hadn’t read it until now, but it was a fascinating read, thanks!
I know zed about electronics, so I’ll be respecting my ignorance and leaving that alone, but that’s good to know. I’m not sure what ailed my old one, but I suspect it was the door latch. It had begun with the plate turning after the timer beeped and food removed a year or so ago, but I hadn’t wanted to spend for another, then about a month later behaved normally again until a month ago. I put in some food for a fur baby and hit “add 30 seconds” and within five of those a huge “pop” and very bright flash. It looked like a fireball rather than an arc and scared the wind from me! I immediately unplugged the poor thing and warily opened the door. I looked at the same ceramic ramikan my pet always uses for wet food, stunned, and at the huge scorch-mark inside the microwave in dismay. My baby got kibble and cold wet food the rest of the week, until I got another microwave. In the betwixt time, I was researching in case there was some simple fix but couldn’t find the exact problem, so money was spent. With tariffs price-jacking, my $50 microwave went to the recycle center, and became a $100 new one. But you’ve delighted me with your calm replies amid the vitriol of confident incorrectness and clearly superior knowledge! I hearby dub thee the official Lemmy Microwave Mage, and thanks for the lesson! 🧙♀️🪄
Eta my atrocity of forgotten manners due to excitement strikes again! My apologies, and thanks so much for the silicone packet tip.
Delightful! 👏👏👏
