I have a Danby microwave oven that has the strangest problem. Everything appears to work normally, but only the surface of food and objects seems to absorb radiation. Examples:
1. My wife microwaves a frozen muffin for 12 seconds. The muffin is too hot to touch. This does not seem normal.
2. We have some microwave safe mugs that we've used successfully for some time. If you heat up a mug of tea for 45 seconds and try to take it out of the oven.... burnt finger smell. The tea itself does not seem to be that hot, but I guess it eventually absorbs some heat from the blazing hot mug.
Did the power output of my microwave go way up? Did the wavelength drift so that it no longer penetrates objects? This thing is a scientific curiosity for me, it almost seems a shame to fix it.
Cheers,
Dan.
