Magic Chef Micro oven won't operate
Our Magic Chef Microwave will not work, I had just used it to warm up a plate of food and as I sat down to eat I glanced up at the microwave clock and it was blank. I tried all of the touch pad button...

Buckleup
I have a 600 watt Honda Genset I had connected to the rig one afternoon testing the genset. I had a senior momment & revved the genset.......NOT GOOD!!!!!
After I realized what I had just done & shut down the genset, connected coach to pedastal and tested my electrical.
I found BOTH My Sharp Convection Microwave AND My DirecTV box where DOA!
Cracking the case I located the MOV's for each device. A MOV sits on the Positive side & if a surge is detected the mov blows so that no current passes thru. Can't tell if it's blown by just looking at it.
Picked two of these up;

Couple bucks each. Replaced MOVS & both sprung back to life & still running!
