Hi Experts,

I have discovered which oven not to buy but it's a bit late now.
The Model Number is: 72163252301 and, within the warranty, it made a
loud pop, then started a very loud buzzing and finally a smell of
burning plastic. I pulled the cord and brought it back to Sears. A
week later I had it back. That is just about a year ago and it now
has repeated.
This oven was very lightly used - not more than 20 mins/day.

If anyone has had this experience I'd appreciate the info. I also note
that the way it is assembled seems to make access more difficult.

The way it is assembled is specificallly designed to make access difficult.
There is a power supply inside of that unit capable of producing 4000 volts
at a half an amp, which is guaranteed to kill you.

As if that wasn't enough, the capacitor can retain sufficient enough energy
to cause a ventricular fibrillation long after the unit has been turned off
and unplugged.

Microwave ovens are rather simple devices, but unless you have the
specialized know-how in dealing with them, your life isn't worth it.
