The microwave repair guy came by this afternoon to fix our over-the-range microwave oven. He had previously ordered the parts so today was just about installing them. Getting it down was a minor pain as the bottom right corner was having a hard time releasing from the bracket. Once he got it down he removed the part that needed to replaced, and one screw decided to fall and get wedged somewhere such that it wouldn't fall out even after shaking the microwave. He eventually got it and got the new part put in, and then noticed a couple of moderately deep scratches on our Corion countertop. He was frustrated that he caused that and apologetic. He gave me a number I need to call to have someone come out and buff out the scratches.
Finally it was time to put the microwave back. The two screws that hold it in place were hard to twist in. I offered my drill which helped very briefly due to the battery not being charged enough. His drill was too tall to fit. He couldn't get the right screw in and it seemed to have gotten stripped so he just ordered a new top which comes with new screws. So the microwave works but it doesn't look pretty. Once the new parts arrive we'll set up another appointment and get it securely bolted and looking like it used to.
We tried to use the heater tonight, the first time since it was repaired, and after clicking on for a few seconds it failed to begin heating. So I guess tomorrow I'll be calling Service 1 Heating & Air Conditioning and have them someone back out.
