Tested out microwave. It still works. Smell is present. Will wait for
tomorrow and find out if the smell goes away. May even take off the
cover... making sure I don't make contact with anything inside to see if
there is anything obviously wrong.

Noticed there is smell in the microwave that doesn't smell like it's food
related. Maybe something internal burned up. I'm not sure. I'm afraid
to unscrew the oven and take it apart. A repair man once told me there is
a lot of voltage stored up inside mw ovens. Don't want to do anything
foolish and get an incredible zap.

Money-wise this is a cheap $35 microwave. However, replacing it, I would
probably spend close to $100.. thinking maybe the low quality is what may
have caused this thing to burn up. Then again, I don't know for sure what
caused the smell. Maybe it is food related? And, the microwave is okay.
I haven't tested it out yet. Any suggestions?
