Yes, Guinness Stout.

 

Finally got so fed up with the brain-dead connector spacing and order on my Velleman power supply that I made an adapter.

The many-way binding posts I had were too long, so I used some cheap AliExpress stuff. I have some Pomona shorting blocks to short ground to earth ground if I ever need it.

 

Another facet replaced after the wife finally tells me its been leaking since before Christmas.

 

Remember when we could just change a 5⊄ washer? Now it’s a $40 part, which is probably more than the price of a new faucet.

I buy Moen now, life time warranty, I have obtained (free) very expensive parts for one Kitchen Faucet!

That's what I installed, $200+ (on sale with MIL discount) for a damn facet. It's not the parts, it's the labor (too old to be a contortionist under the sink, shimming in the little cabinet door) that's expensive on my body.

I know that feeling!

 

Something very, very serious happened to me a few minutes ago.

I warmed up about two cups of water for around two minutes in my microwave oven, and when the thing stopped and I opened the door the freaking thing turned on again and started a cycle WITH THE FREAKING DOOR OPEN.

I immediately closed the door, and the thing stopped. Thinking that it was some sort of glitch, I pressed clear and opened the door again, AND ON AGAIN IT WENT WITH THE DOOR OPEN.

For this forum's member's consideration, here's a pic of its technical diagram, which is located at the back of the unit.

​

No ... I am NOT EVEN GOING TO BOTHER trying to fix the stupid thing. The glitch could be located at the door's safety switch, or maybe at its controller. I DON'T CARE. Investing my time and effort and disking MY PERSONAL SAFETY on this thing is far from being worth it.

All I can say is, shame on MABE for producing a crappy product like this one that can fail in such a dangerous way. The device is only about 5 years old! ... I can only thank God that it was ME that happened to. Had it happened to my wife or someone else who has no technical skills things might've gotten far more serious.

I would never trust a Mexican microwave.

Get one in English.

 

It’s a microwave, if it’s dong that the door switches are bad or out of adjustment.

Most of its parts are made in the US and China, actually.

Hecho en China.

 

Guys. It's a joke.

You reminded me of a funny line that Sandra Bullock says in "Gravity" ... as she's scrambling with the comms and hears a language she can't recognize, she's so nervous that she says in Spanish: "No hablo Chino!" ...

 

Mabe it work, Mabe it don't.

When I was preparing to go to China for business, a Chinese woman in my group instructed me in the one Mandarin phrase I should remember, including the proper inflection. If I remember correctly, it sounded, phonetically, like “boo yow”. Any Mandarin speakers out there?

The meaning, I was told, was “I don’t want any.” I used it a couple of times when pestered by street vendors, and they chuckled, then left me alone, so whatever I was really saying, it did have the desired effect.

Another humorous thing about that trip: I was accompanied by an ethnic Chinese American who was born in Chicago and spoke no Mandarin or other Chinese dialect. The natives got very angry with him because they thought he was lying about not speaking the language.

So, we had something that might be the same as what you are experiencing. IN our case the light and fan would turn on with he door open—but after a while I worked out that the magnetron was not operating when that happened. It would even run with the door closed without being commanded but the same thing—light, fan, no radiation.

Of course the issue was with one of the two door interlock switches. But it was scary before realizing it was just annoying.

 

You can wash the slider with WD40 put it (Microwave) cover off downward and spray the shiz out of it along with the switches work it back and forth release the dry on grease in the moving parts.

Afterward let drip, then wash with electro-wash before using it test a spot on the plastic around the latch because it may melt it. If it doesn’t work then shoot it Or blow it up lol

Thanks for your support, guys. But I've already ordered another MW from Amazon. It should be here by Wednesday ... it's REALLY annoying not having a working MW in the house, though. One doesn't realize how dependent one is on those gizmos until they fail.

The new one's brand is an LG, btw

The name of last one does not instill a lot of confidence, MABE (MAYbe)!
Have you joined the Air Fryer crowd yet?
Surprising how much cooking you can get done in them, No, or very little oil used. !
