Hello everyone,

I came home after work today and noticed the following:

- The microwave is off and cannot be turned on. When I open the microwave door, the turntable keeps spinning endlessly. Even when I close the door, it keeps spinning. In this sense, I had to unplug the microwave from the socket. Then plug it back in, open the door and the turntable spins again. This time, however, it no longer spins when I close the door. I tried another socket, but unfortunately the microwave still does not work.

- The oven under the microwave is on, but it shows 12:00, which is typical when the oven has been turned off and on again. However, nobody was home today... Then I wanted to see if the oven even works. Unfortunately, it doesn’t either. So, no matter what mode I try, nothing happens inside, although the lights and the clock display are on. I also tried a different socket for this: no success. Suddenly, I try again and it works... But then unfortunately it stops working again.

The refrigerator is working.

All three devices share a triple socket in the kitchen...

Could there have been a power outage that somehow damaged the devices?

I can’t imagine that, since the refrigerator works and the other two devices were on but not used...

Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

Thanks

Power outage and before or after an overvoltage from the grid or lightning strike, or an excavator damaged a cable

Fridge, microwave, and oven on one outlet? That’s actually not right…

I thought an oven socket had to be fused. I would say the microwave can go, it's just old. The oven clock should continue running after a power outage, right?

It worked without problems for 16 years.

But the time has long come when even electrical appliances in the kitchen can give up the ghost. For whatever specific reasons you have. Just look forward to nice new appliances (small consolation).
