An inexpensive LED microwave oven tester you can give away to promote your business.

I have a stupid question. I just recieved one, and is it supposed to light up if the microwave is leaking, or not light up? I put mine in and it lit up like a christmas tree.

If you put it in the microwave it will light up if the microwave is working. You'll see it flicker at the cold spots...

If you run it around the outside of the door while it is running, then it should not light up, and if it does there is a serious leak in the micro...

John, it only lights up in the MW.
Not effective as a lure for night fishing (except for Moray Eels), sorry!

They are for winter use. Test the microwave after doing the outside. Then warm your hands

I give them the tester, and hold them up to put it into the microwave and set the timer for 5 seconds.

Then it glows and everyone is impressed and the kid is happy and I have just formed a bond with the buyers (and, usually, their Realtor).

Many times, home inspection is as much about entertainment and putting on a good show.

Hope this helps;

So very, very true.

It is terrible you should have such a long wait and hope this has not ruined business.
I sent you mine in the mail this afternoon and hope you have received it.

If you have not it ,would be better to cancel today's inspection.
