The other day I noticed that our microwave was sparking a bit. Then a
few minutes after making some pop corn there was a loud thump sound
that came from the microwave, but I didn't think about it until I went
to heat up something: when I opened the microwave door, I saw the
glass rotating plate had spilt into two-- almost perfectly down the
middle. I couldn't have broken it that way if I had tried!

Does anyone know why the plate broke like that and if there's some
place I can get a replacement for it? They are standardized, no? :-)

Is there a complex moulded mount at the centre that would require moulding
in 2 parts?
If removeable plate perhaps someone heavy handed at using the carving knife,
scored across and then thermal strsses in the uW
