Microwave on Fire
Ask a Question
I dont know why microwave is throwing fire from sides every time I try to use it,
It also produces very scary voices.
Is it a permanent fault or I can get it fixed?
I just checked few online all are pricey 
what I am going to do without a microwave
I don't understand why in this day and age, microwaves are still pretty expensive for what they are. Though if you look around, you can get some more reasonably priced ones.
After having a look around, the cheapest one I could find is this...
Put it in the bin and go on Gumtree ....Facebook marketplace etc and get a second hand one.
Or place an ad yourself..asking for a cheap one.
Best of luck.
Freecycle or gumtree - FREE is best!
But beware of people getting rid of duff stuff and using you to transport it away for free!
Its a thing!
Yes I am looking for it right now. Hopefully I will get one. Never had a single day without microwave its looks so strange now if cant use it
It is the Magnetron - very dangerous - switch it off.
Yes fixable you need to buy a new magnetron and have it fitted - i had a new one for sale on ebay for Β£40 but in reality if you cant fit it yourself and nor should you as the capacitor in the microwave could kill you unless you discharge it , it will be cheaper to buy a new microwave!
Thanks for the advice. I am going to unplug it. It's just so sad I am losing it like this.
WindowShopper Is it an old friend lol
I know how you feel my Microwave is my grandpas its a Toshiba ER-672ET and its over 50 years old
Modern technology eh doesnt even last 5 years!
Just look at that manual heat knob and nondigital display - Beautiful!
Even has the menus for everything you can cook in it with times and settings - Pure dead MAGIC!
Not old, hardly 2 years of use. I bought it from argos or currys I guess. I dont think I got it insured
WindowShopper 2 years is pretty poor it should have lasted at least 5 years - you must have been using it every day for ages - little tip - dont keep it on high for too long it destroys the magnetron but the biggest killer of microwaves is slamming the door - it destroys the interlock on the door handle and ends up with the microwave going phutt - pull handle, close door softly, release lock.
Most electronics fails due to abuse by the users - no one reads the manual these days!
I just repaired another LCD tv - these were designed to fail due to poor backlight design from the very beginning - BUILT IN OBSOLESCENCE IS REAL it is not just made up - I am an electronics engineer and the stuff they make these days is a disgrace!
Pretty scary isn't it? Perhaps microwaves are eventually going to take over the world and kill us all. 
RegularComper90 No i think the coronavirus has that one all sealed up!
My Zombie Apocalypse prognostications are not looking that far fetched now!
Just look up exponential contamination.
The figures have gone from 10 infect to 300 to 17,000 in a week - that is actually quite disturbingand follows the logarithmic infection rate for a global ending - the end is truly nigh this time!
Nevertheless I have stoicked up on food, have my tin foil hat on, Lucille is at the ready for any scavengers who dare to darken my door and i have my sh****g pants on!
RegularComper90 Check this - if it doesnt give you food for thought!

RegularComper90 Hmm not sure if i can let one go you could have one of the Korma ones they are not bad!

Simple but utterly Amazing!
I like the simple things in life!
RegularComper90 I specialize in Thai curry myself and mexican did a few courses on youtube and now I am amazing - but no change there then i am pretty amazing at everything i do ... well except wallpapering and artexing i draw the line there!
haha
Ja som perfectny muz na sveta!
Hmm nearly 12 o clock time to post some deals hehe my Β£50 Amazon voucher is only 5000 points away!
RegularComper90 I will do you my speshal Thai Coconut and Kaffir Lime leave extra hot curry with extra Galangal and fresh chesnuts - i hope you like it hot...
I grow my own chillis - got some californian yellows from last year some Hungarian black chillis and some bumripper Scotch bonnets on my windowsill as we speak - your choice - bumripper or not to bumrip?
I make my coconut milk myself by crushing and grinding real coconuts none of this Jamie Oliver canned coconut milk nonsense hehe
Just a word to the wise -> bring your steel underpants you will need them after my speshal Thai rocket curry!
Its acutally quite funny my girlfriend complained that i never cooked for her so i took up cookery courses and ten years later all she eats is ready meals now!
Mind she is a veggie they are so hard to please - i made her a lovely sweet lentil casserole the other night and she preferred to eat a bowl of chips and some avocado - sad very sad when you make all the effort and get nowt back!
I am the perfect man (almost) but nobody wants me boohoo
garygemmell Some beautiful chilies right there, so well done. 
And I like to go quite hot with my curries, so I would be more than happy to try one of yours.
I shall have to get myself some steel underpants as I currently do not have any.
RegularComper90 Thanks nice to be appreciated by one person at least lol
Yeah my fingers are quite green i love animals and fauna - just hate humans!
My variegated yukka flowered this year apparently they never flower.
They dont call me the flower whisperer for nothing!
I would ask you to show me your flower in return but my girlfriend finds that quite a rude request!
You wummen really is that all that is on your minds - i am with boy George on that one much prefer a nice Earl Grey!
Must be something wrong with microwave please donβt use it can be dangerous for yourself try in store Asda sometimes stores offers different then online Β£25 or Β£35 you can buy new one I got integrated one we have 3 years cover on it peace of mind . I hope you will find one soon
