Default Microwave

I noticed the discoloration on the interior of this microwave and thought it looked like rust which would be unusual. I opened the cabinet above it and found serious charring of the cabinet floor which is directly above the microwave. That's not just stains, there's physical damage there as well. Needless to say I wrote it up as a serious safety hazard that needed immediate, if not sooner, attention before it burst into flames. This is a first for me.

Default Re: Microwave

Hi Michael, interesting find...it isn't as clear to me, seeing it from Michigan, that the two go together but I'm glad you found it and commented on it as you saw it.
