Back peddling now are we....first there was NO toxic reaction and now
there is a little!!??!!

It is just not very practical to repair most older microwaves or any
small
appliance for that matter. I would not spend $30 to fix a $9 toaster
even
though it is not ecologically sound. Nor would I buy a $40 stove
element
because it has a gram of plastic stuck to it. There will be far less
chemical reaction than burning candles on the dinner table.

Any repairs over approx 50% of the cost to replace of a new microwave
is possibly not worth it....but my point was most things that I read
are people are not even told to check it out because a new counter top
one at Wally world is $49.97 so throw it out....that theory will get us
land fills full of microwaves/toasters/kettles/etc which may be even
more toxic than the element burning is.

Sorry, the wool may be pulled over others but not here. Your theory and
?proof? is non existant.
