Well, this group *is* alt.home.REPAIR, and our family would like to
repair some problems that arise from sensitive sleepers living in a
small home.
Are there any microwave ovens that do not beep, honk, clang, or
otherwise make noises? I located a small-appliance repairman who said
the removal of sound-making electronics from appliances--microwave more
than any other--actually comprised the largest part of his business.
But since the microwave we needed to have "de-belled" was old, we
decided not to go through with the surgery!
So if anyone here knows of any totally silent microwaves, I'd
appreciate hearing about them here. THanks.
Buy the microwave oven of your choice.
Remove cover.
Find beeper. Unplug or cut.
one other thing: don't touch any of the wiring going anywhere near the
tube or capacators; there's lethal voltage there even when the oven
has been off for days.
Best time for the debarking operation is before the oven has ever been
powered up. The voltage will *probably* be discharged.
My GE microwave has a button in front that turns the beep off. My
previous Sharp did too.
