Several years ago the microwave in the 5er caught fire, flames were visible through the vent holes in the front. Even though it was out of warranty, Cedar Creek had Magic Chef replace it at no charge because it was a known problem. Well, guess what...it happened again tonight! My wife was trying to use it and it would not work, then we smelled the smoke! Again, I could see something inside glowing red. We unplugged it immediately.
Have any of you had a similar problem with Magic Chef microwaves? I am calling Cedar Creek tommorrow.
