This is a repeat of the very first post I did in February, 2009. My wife is in Scotland and my life, while a bit easier is in many ways is more confusing as my daughter and I wander through by ourselves. I'm tired and started to write a lovely ditty about my lunch yesterday and how I was in love again with a wonderful lady when I realized that no matter how I did it, it was not going to be good.
No, I'm not really in love, I love lots of people, and it was going to get me and the young lady into trouble as I wrote. My feelings were of friendship and tenderness, but it would sink me fast. So, I am purposefully repeating myself this time with my very first story from February, 2009, which most of you haven't read, I imagine. It was the fist thing I was pissed about that evening, 430 posts ago.
Enjoy:
We have an over the range microwave oven, which has a fan and a light in the bottom of it. This is a Jenn-Air which was about $600, and is about 3 or 4 years old. (OK, I paid $400 and it was an out-of-date model!)
I replaced a bulb in the bottom portion, used to light the range below it and it becomes a night light. I twisted the bulb the wrong way because it’s in a backwards position and it came apart in my hand. This caused a big bang, and a flash and no more light working.
I checked around and there was no separate fuse. I used a meter and there was no electricity. I gave up.
Sandy wanted it fixed, and we found a guy who was willing to come out and look, as most appliance repair places will not bother with microwaves.
The visit, with tax, was $77. I fried the board, and to replace it will be $179 plus $30 labor. My wife wants her light. The oven is still good and a new one (of the same brand and size) is $600.
I have now ordered the $300 night light!
