So this was freaky - I decided to try out the Angry Mama microwave steam cleaner while doing other cleaning around the house (review: it stinks). As I go to wipe it out, the microwave is dead. No power, lights, nada. This has happened before, so I start searching online to see if it's a fuse or something. About 10 minutes into my search, I go to get a drink - and the microwave is on again. I think the steam got into the internals and temp shut it down. Still kind of freaked me out, like it knew I was going to try to fix it, and it was all "sorry brah, I got this."

Maybe you would be interested in this item instead...

 

Not a clue. Maybe put "n/a" if your feeling froggy. Otherwise return it? Never ran into that before. The one I had was harder to find but it still showed.

 

4min, tiny bit of writing

 

Yeah.... I would have been soooo much higher if I actually woke up early....

Time to terrify the cat.

 

Is that the one that kinda has phallic shape to it? The last time my microwave started acting funky like that, it didn't last much longer. I hope ypurs lives a longer life than mine did.

 

I now have 20 of these in my queue... guess I should get started on them...
