I think I murdered my microwave.

[Newai]

I thought I set the kitchen timer on it for a pizza in my oven, but turns out I had actually turned on the microwave, cooking nothing. It's really hot. I think I might have to throw it in the snow. Ran for ten minutes. Now it won't turn on at all. And it smells bad.

Anything I should be worried about here?

This is almost as bad as when I was chipping the ice out of my fridge.

Strange. That's what my microwave sounded like just before it went all dark.

Oh noes!

 

[lisab]

So...did your pizza burn?

 

[Newai]

OH, the pizza!

 

[lisab]

OH, the pizza!

OH, the pizza!

Oh the humanity!

I'll bet it looks like coral.

Phew. Pizza lived. It was close, but it's okay.

Now I'm going to kill it!

Was your microwave a countertop model?

 

[Newai]

Yes. I plugged it in a few minutes ago and it turned on. So it might be alright. I'm going to leave it unplugged for a day to cool down.

Oh good! I hope it will be ok.

Thanks for your concern, everyone. Maybe I'll post regular updates in a blog here. Big news, big news.

Sounds to me like you haven't proven anything useful. I think you need to rerun the test at 20 minutes...

I'll have to wait until I add a control, but there might be bias.

That usually works when I drown my microwave. Another thing my friend taught me is that changing the fuse in a microwave is pretty easy (just slip off the casing) and they're dirt cheap.
