At first there was a plastic smell. My roomate commented, "What are you cooking? Rubber ribs?" I simply ignored him and continued with my school work. About five minutes later, the fire alarm went off and I noticed the microwave was full of smoke. Police and fire departments responded accordingly. I was informed by university housing that I would not be fined because the microwave was at fault. However, I am concerned for a microwave defect because the housing complex I am currently in has over 120 of these units (8 per building, 15 buildings total) Julia of Auburn NY (3/13/03):
It has to be replaced or pay $250 to fix it (!) and now I'm not sure we can fit another micro into the spot we have over our oven/stove. I do not want another fire hazard in my home, so not sure what to do. Denise of Upland CA (5/14/02):
One night I put a frozen hot chili in to thaw. I set it for 20 seconds. It went for 10 seconds. It made a loud popping noise and then a flash of either fire or light went through the microwave. I shut it down right away. And unplugged it. The chili was still frozen. I called them again. They said they would send out someone again. I went to pick up my daughter on that day. he left a note that he came by at 3:20. I was home at 3:10. I called and asked if thay could send him back? They said they would. and if he couldn't the supervisor would call. I waited, no one called. I have this microwave that is still under warranty. And they refuse to take care of the problem. It will proably burn down my house. They say it has a built in chip that would stop it from doing this. if that is true why did it burn the popcorn? Report Your Experience
