Changing a bulb in a microwave....
Its been blown a while and been annoying me...

Who ever designed my microwave was having a laugh! 
"lets put a consumable item in a very inaccesable place, so that you have to remove 10 screws, remove a motor, remove the front panel, remove the door lock mechanism, as well as the cover.....oh and for good measure we will use razor sharp edge metal inside.....to enusre plenty of cuts and swearing"

"and just when the poor bastard thinks hes cracked it, we'll use a couple of security screws"

Well, I happened to have the correct screwdriver for the security screws and i got the last laugh......ive got a screw left over..

Have you ever put a used bulb in the microwave.I wouldn't recommend to do it with a microwave you eat stuff out of

At least you can see what it's not cooking !

People don't change bulbs anymore -- just throw it away and get a new microwave ( I bet some do that if a fuse blows too!!! )

Just so you know.....i just put a cup of cold water in it....to test it....1 min later....cup of hot water....so yes it still works  .....and bulb is still working too

Possibly the same person that designed the 'consumer unit' for my caravan. I had charging problems & had to drill out pop rivets to get inside it. Inside, on the main pcb board there's a ordinary glass fuse!  :-? :-? :-?

A new microwave is only £25 from Tescos, was it worth the effort?

Oh, as a sideline, do NOT put a mobile phone in the microwave.  I'm guessing its because frequencies are similar.  Apparently

but buying a new on doesn't give you the satisfaction of fixing the one you already have.

If I did though ........
