probably nobody will care, but I’m sad at the passing of my microwave. It was born in July of 1983, and died march 24th, 2026. I had bought it used in 1992 and it faithfully served me and my family for many years until today, when the keypad decided to partially quit working. Rest in peace Zappy, you will be missed.

I’m looking for a new keypad but unsurprisingly the parts for this ancient thing are no longer in stock so I doubt I’ll be able to resurrect it without some sort of miracle. I know it’s just an appliance but it still makes me sad to see it go.

    I had an LG microwave I had for ~5 years die.

    Looked into the warranty info.

    Only the … Magnatron or whatever was under warranty for 10 years.

    But the hoops to jump through to get service led me to just buying a new one at the store instead.

    Don’t make em like they used to.

    Least the new ones popcorn button works.
