The product, in the report: Wolf MW24 1200W Microwave Oven (made by [REDACTED]), installed 2006 in new construction.
We were using our 16 year old Wolf MW24 1200W Microwave Oven (made by [REDACTED]) using its sensing feature to bake one potato. Sometime during the process, the potato caught fire, which we put out using flour to smother the flames. A few days later, after cleaning out the soot from the compartment, my wife decided to boil some water in a glass cup using the microwave oven. She was watching through the viewing window for bubbles when a flamethrower-like flame shot across the inside of the compartment from the side the magnetron is on, and then retracted, followed by visible flickering flames behind the wall of the compartment on that side that subsided shortly after. We obtained the service manual online, and it clearly indicates that there’s a fuse in the microwave that should prevent this type of phenomenon. Also, the dedicated house circuit breaker didn’t trip; don’t know why. Luckily, the cabinetry didn’t catch fire and no injuries other than mental anguish occurred. We contacted Wolf customer service and received corporate no-speak about the unit being old, and that component breakdowns should be expected. We responded that we could understand that, but that the unit should be designed to fail SAFELY. Fuses should outlive any components that can fail dangerously. The Wolf representative stuck to the party line. Last Wolf product we’ll buy.
