Last night we narrowly missed having our house burned down. Our smoke alarm alerted us to the fire, which was in the utilty room. Our microwave was in flames, the room filled with smoke and everything in the room covered in a thick black film.
What I find odd is how much combustible material seems to be in a microwave, as I would have thought it was mostly metal.
We rarely use this microwave, but it was plugged in. Entire house was rewired 5 years ago. I'm wondering if anyone else has heard of such a thing, or had it happen to them. I'm nearly afraid to leave the fridge plugged in now.
