Is My Microwave Ruined After Overheating for Ten Minutes?

[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!

So...did your pizza burn?

 

[Newai]

OH, the pizza!

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.
