Re: Kid nuked nothing for 10 min. M'wave is toast!
My mother-in-law did the same thing to my built-in microwave. i was looking at $600 to replace it.
I had a local repairman out working on my dishwasher, and he was bragging that he could fix any appliance. I open up my well toasted Microwave. he said no problem I can fix that. It cost me $150, for them to remove it, take it to the shop, clean it, fix it, replace the glass tray that cracked from the fire, and the turn table the glass tray sits on. Then they came back and re-installed it for me.
Well worth the $150.
It was both a fuse and the tube that nukes everything.
My mother-in-law was house/Kid sitting while my wife and I were helping a friend bring thier boat from Fl to NJ. Was supposed to be a 7 day trip turn into 11 days. The last day, as my wife was talking to her mom, all I hear is fire where is there a fire. Then the phone went dead. My Mother-in-law did the same thing, but she did hit power 0 to use it as a timer, on that microwave power 0 is high, there is a button just for a timer.
