How are wall ovens measured?

• <div><p>Ovens are measured by the width, height, and depth of the overall oven (typically in inches). You’ll want to measure the oven not only for the final space it’ll be installed in but also to make sure all the openings in your home to get to your kitchen can accommodate its size.</p></div>

What are the signs that a microwave is going bad?

• <div><p>The most obvious sign that it’s time to repair or replace your microwave is that it is no longer heating food. If you notice your food coming out cold or not as warm as it used to, call a small appliance repair technician for help. </p><p>Some other signs your microwave is in need of service include:</p><ul><li><p>It’s making strange noises during operation.</p></li><li><p>The interior plate no longer spins.</p></li><li><p>You notice strange smells or see smoke.</p></li><li><p>It’s close to or more than eight years old.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What is a good wattage for a microwave?

• <div><p>The standard for most microwave recipes and instructions is 1,000 watts. Other aspects of your microwave need to be considered like size, functionality, and where it will be installed, but 1,000 watts is considered the standard for home cooking. Lower-end models will be 700 watts or less, causing them to heat food more slowly. The maximum wattage for a microwave is usually 1,700 watts.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to use a buzzing microwave?

• <div><p>Whether or not it&rsquo;s safe to use a buzzing microwave depends on what&rsquo;s causing the noise. If a loose fastener or a dirty cooling fan is the underlying issue, it&rsquo;s safe to use your microwave, although you may do damage to the fan motor if you don&rsquo;t clean the blades first. If the issue is stemming from something else, you could do further damage to your appliance and potentially even start a house fire if you don&rsquo;t repair it before continued use. If the microwave is buzzing when not in use, shut the power and call an emergency electrician, as this could lead to a fire.</p></div>

Q: Are new appliances in a home improvement project tax deductible?

• <div><p>Some new appliances you add during a home improvement project may qualify for tax breaks. You could receive a tax deduction if the appliances are going into a rental property. If the appliances qualify for energy-efficiency tax breaks, you may also be able to take a tax break.</p></div>
