Calling Ash - can you make my wife happy again...

[Lobo]

Hiya A ll/sh,

No morn porridge for me this am.... microwave gave up the ghost. Whipped the back off it (warily due biggum condenser I believe) and found this. Basically a one hertz flash over short 3 cycles... and then stops. After a rest will repeat performance.

Anyone / Ash... home repairable? Mrs Lobo cock-a-hoop coz she thinks she's in line for a new one... whereas I've Fizzy parts to buy...

Lobo.

Suspect its an inverter type which are a lot more complicated than the mains transformer/EHT rectifier/capacitor power supply versions.

Which make/model is it? Do you have a decent multimeter and I will try to  help ? Be careful of the high voltage  capacitor you can get a a nasty belt off it if it's not discharged properly.

Ash

[Lobo]

Doh.... meant capacitor!

Thanks Ash... it's a Panasonic Dimension 4; a combined 1000W Micro + Conv Oven + Grill jobby.

Multimeter a Fluke 117.... good for most jobs about the house.

PM me if you can help rather than bore the forum.... I'll forward on my email address.

Many thanks,
Simon

Hi,
    "make my wife happy" that's a rash statement

[Nurse Julie]

Don't be so bloody tight Simon, it's your meals that won't get cooked without the microwave

No, you just trade the wife in for one who knows how to cook without a microwave

And while I think about it, she wouldn't be happy if you expected her to pay for one of your expensive tools if it got broken or lost would she? So why would she expect you to pay for hers?😯

Stop thinking Hairy, you know it achieves diddly squat  . Anyways, I bet Mrs Lobo does pay for everything in the long run, in a roundabout way.

I don't think your going to bore the forum your keeping Hairy entertained.

[Nurse Julie]

    I had a s**t day at work Mick, so need a laugh this evening and Hairy's always a pleasure to wind up

[Green1]

I had a crap day too started late because I couldn't find the job.
it was only at the end of my road

Thing is dear Nursey, medical staff at my local hospital have wound me up with their incompetence and stupidity a million times more than you ever could, now get back in the kitchen where you belong!

[Nurse Julie]

Yes dear  I'm in the kitchen, cooking dinner, posting on here and trying not to get flour over my carbs 

[Green1]

Brings a hole new meaning to watching your carbs.
