(On fixing a microwave that has had fires develop in it more than once
before)

True, but for $5 dollars, this one can be fixed. :-)

Would I want to be supervising it every second it was running in case
the fix did not fix the right thing or in case there was more than one
problem and not all problems got fixed?


If your not up to the repair, by all means knock yourself out and purchase a
new unit.

However, I have repaired many microwaves that has this little issue and it's
an easy fix. But I guess you just replace EVERYTHING when something little
malfunctions!

If something has caught fire a few times, I don't think that's some
little malfunction. I have repaired electronic equipment before. If a
piece of equipment that is not particularly expensive has had a few fires,
I think my time is better spent earning money to buy a replacement than
repairing it and making sure it is really fixed and that no critical
damage was caused by any of the fires.
