Microwave extraction

 

Actually it was like a tooth extraction but I didn't feel too much pain. Below I've found that there is a flush mounted board that is holding the busted micro in place and it must be removed before we can get the oven to the dealer for repair. The wood was so tight to the oven that I couldn't see how it was constructed so that we could get the thing out ... short of ripping off the whole front piece.

 

AHA! Above is the repairman/science buff with a new tiny video camera ... see the display on the laptop. I was able to see up into the unit and the small flush mounted screws that could only be reached with a flexible neck screwdriver .... jeez!

And voila, the board comes off and we were able to extract the 50 pound piece of junk from its old home and take it over to a dealer in Barrie.

Here's the resultant new microwave/convection oven below that we must use until the real thing is repaired ... we had really gotten used to the good one and the substitute, while popping the breakers, doesn't quite cut it ...

Now we have just found out that the old one is not fixable here in Barrie as it is an American model only ... so we are waiting for the insurance company to figure out the next step for us.
