Appliance Repair Man

Some 20 years ago or so I used to mess around as a refrigerator repair man.  I believe Pete used to do it also.  It was an opportunity to drop the drawers a bit, get a little butt crackin out and act like a professional of all things appliance repair related.  On the mission I used to do the same thing as a car tire specialist.  It was all just a little act put on to bring a smile to someones face.  Today however, I actually got to perform in the role of a true appliance repair man.  We have had a few challenges with out commercial microwave or microwaves rather.  The one we had been using for some time just quit working.  We had a spare that pops had picked up but it needed a plug so a week ago I pulled both apart and switched the plug to the other machine.  That unit worked for a few days and then it suddenly stopped functioning.  I started pondering a few things about the first one and determined that the problem with it must have been a blown fuse.  There were additional problems that needed fixing - like a bare spot on the ceramic plate that caused a bit of a lightening storm inside the microwave now and again.  There may have been a little grease to clean off the unit as well.  Certainly the fuse was worth a shot as I knew where it was located and that would save us a bit of money I am sure.  Long story short, the new fuse did the trick.  I cleaned as much grease and grime off the thing as I could.  Put it all back together, sealed the ceramic plate inside.  Really hope that trick works.  The silicone I used has to cure for 24 hours so we won't actually know until either tomorrow  evening or first thing Wednesday morning.  Assuming I pull it off and the unit works without a problem then I can truly say, with confidence even, that I am an Appliance Repair Man.
