Well, instead of writing to you about my daughter's play kitchen (which will have to wait until later), I thought I'd share a scary experience of my own:
when a microwave almost explodes.
When you start noticing that your beverage or dinner just isn't as hot as you think it should be- it's NOT you.
OR
when you start noticing that your beverage or dinner is hotter than you think it should be- it's NOT you.
It's the magnetron in the microwave wearing out.
And when it finally wears out, it will make a sound like a unpopped kernel of popcorn skittering across the floor, followed by the typical "appliance on fire smoking smell", followed by a whirring noise that isn't the normal 'uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu' of the microwave fan.
Now, I've had a lot of microwaves in my life (though I still remember life without one) and this is the first time that I've ever had one die.
It's just Murphy's Law: just when you replace the expensive light bulb in the thing, it decides to blow up.

Perhaps that light bulb caused the problem?
ReplyDeleteNo; we took the bulb from the range light and moved it into the microwave and the new one in the range light. If think if anything, the bulb going was a symptom of the explosion to come
