  1. No one hurt

    Made Jul 20, 2012, sent to the company Aug 17, 2012, published by CPSC Aug 31, 2012

    The product, in the report: Electrolux Microwave E124MO451BA

    I placed a microwaveble heating pad in the microwave. I pushed the #2 on the pad and it is supposed to heat for 2 minutes. Upon returning I found smoke in the kitchen and the microwave was still cooking 10 minutes later. The inside of the microwave had caught fire. I opened the door and took the product outside in flames. I cleaned out the microwave.

    The second incident happened about 1 and 1/2 months later. I was heating food and was standing there watching it as it heated for 2-3 mins. When the counter counted down to zero it went from 1sec-74 minutes. Luckily I was there and was able to stop it before it could have caught on fire again.
